What Methods are Used for Mechanical Disintegration?
Several methods are employed to achieve mechanical disintegration at the nanoscale, including:
Ball Milling: This method uses grinding media (balls) to reduce particle size through impact and attrition. High-Pressure Homogenization: This technique forces materials through narrow channels at high pressure, causing intense shear and impact forces. Ultrasonication: High-frequency sound waves create cavitation bubbles that collapse and generate shock waves, breaking down particles. Jet Milling: High-velocity jets of air or steam collide with particles, causing them to fracture into smaller pieces.
