What Techniques are Used for Grinding in Nanotechnology?
Several techniques are employed for grinding in nanotechnology:
Ball Milling: Utilizes grinding media (balls) to reduce particle size through impact and friction. High-Energy Ball Milling: An advanced form of ball milling that uses higher energy levels to achieve finer particles. Planetary Ball Milling: Involves rotating jars and grinding balls to achieve very fine particles. Jet Milling: Uses high-speed jets of compressed air or gas to grind particles. Cryogenic Grinding: Involves cooling materials to very low temperatures to make them brittle for easier grinding.
