Particles range from the nano-scale to macroscopic, increasing their functionality and complexity.
Their size, surface and chemical properties affect the process rates, cost and the function of the product itself. Crystallisation, agglomeration and drying was the focus of research during the latter part of this century, while product engineering and high-value solid products may well become the focus at the start of the new millennium. The understanding of particle properties and their behaviour is becoming ever increasingly important to maintain a competitive edge. Click here for details.
