Dispersion of Particulate Solids Laminar Flow

By analogy to liquid-liquid drop breakup, we can determine the mechanism for the breakup of agglomerates of fine particles. This is a common phenomenon in polymer processing, where various solid pigments and additives need to be 

8 is the porosity, F the inter particle force, d the primary particle size, A the Hamaker constant, and z the physical adsorption distance.
