Assuming that the gluing of particles of different sizes is performed randomly with their surface area as decisive parameter, for various homogeneous particle size fractions and for different particle size mixtures, the theoretical mass gluing factors and the distribution of the resin solid content can be calculated. 

Fluorescence determinations are best made on samples of homogeneous particle size, and this is not the normal state of soil. Grinding and carefully sieving soil before analysis can minimize problems associated with particle size heterogeneity. Another approach has been to fuse soil with borate or to dilute it with cellulose or other suitable diluents. Very thin layers of soil may also be prepared and used for quantitative analysis. 

Several factors are critical for the accuracy and reproducibility of (3-glucan determination. As with any other analysis, some of these factors relate to the skills of the analyst. Parameters critical for (3-glucan analysis include the following discussed below sample homogeneity, particle size, enzyme purity, glucose standard, pipetting technique, and absorbance measurement. 

Zero-valent metal complexes provide important advantages as precursors to otherwise hardly accessible reactive metal ensembles on dehydrated/ dehydroxylated catalyst supports. Such precursors owe their advantage to the preparation of zero-valent or low-valent metal aggregates with homogeneous (or near-homogeneous) particle size distributions on their initial formation. 

Pouring. Many workers prefer not to use mechanical spreading methods at all. If the adsorbent is very finely divided and of homogeneous particle size, and if no binder is used, a slurry can be poured on a plate and allowed to flow over it so that it is evenly covered. Some manual dexterity is required to do this properly. Preparation of plates by pouring is particularly easy with certain types of alumina, but water alone is not usually suitable for making the slurry a volatile liquid such as ethanol (or an ethanol-water mixture) or ethyl acetate is preferable. The appropriate amounts of liquid and solid adsorbent needed to cover a plate have to be found by trial and error, and exactly those quantities should... 

Results of the Maillard study [19] additionally suggested that barriers to CO diffusion existed between particles on the carbon support. Hence, CO molecules could become trapped on small particles, being unable to reach active sites on the 3.6-nm Pt. In their pioneering work. Weaver and coworkers also observed spectral features and reactivity behavior dependent upon the size of Pt deposits on carbon-supported catalyst materials [17, 160]. Working with homogeneous particle size distributions, they showed that responses typical of low-coordination surface atoms become dominant for Pt particles smaller than about 4 nm...

Li et al. [25] synthesized nanoscale LiCoOj powders via spray drying in which equivalent amounts of lithium acetate and cobalt were dissolved in deionized water and some polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added. The suspension was spray-dried to produce mixed precursor in a spray dryer with a two fluid nozzle. Atomizing pressure was controlled at 0.1 MPa, inlet air temperature was SOO C, and the outlet air temperature was 100°C. LiCo02 powder was synthesized by calcining the mixed precursor at SOO C for 4 h. The resulting particle had homogeneous particles size in the order of hundreds of nanometers. 

The extrusion process is very well established in the plastic and food industry. This technology for the manufacturing of the enzymes-containing granulate combines the advantage of a homogeneous particle size distribution with low-cost ingredients.

Most of the features listed above are affected by particle size. Therefore, in many cases, it is necessary to control a homogeneous particle size to fully utilize the particles unique and preeminent properties. Moreover, tuning particle size often enables tuning of particle properties. Some efforts have been made to classify nanoparticles of wide particle-size distribution however, it is still difficult to achieve high efficiency together with high yield. Furthermore, other properties such as shape and crystallinity can often affect nanoparticle properties, and direct control of these properties is also required. Therefore, much effort has been made to control these nanoparticle properties. 

The kinetics of nanoparticle formation reaction, size and size distribution of the colloidal product solution depend strongly on the rate of nucleation and particle growth and the concentration dependence of both rates. Homogeneous particle sizes (narrow size distribution) are expected, if three conditions are fulfilled ... 

For the application as SOFC cathodes, samples with small and homogeneous particle sizes are usually preferred. As a consequence, the glycine-nitrate process was considered a more appropriate technique for preparing the perovskite samples of this series Lno.5Ao.5Fe03 5 (Ln= La, Nd, Sm A= Ba, Sr) with 1.25< <1.34 A. 

Thermal sensitivity data are now primarily obtained using the thermal analysis method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (see Chapter 2). Thermal sensitivity is the most reproducible, and best understood, of the various types of sensitivity tests, owing to the relatively minor effect of the specific test conditions on the value that is obtained. Thermal sensitivity is the result of the chemistry that occurs in a given mixture upon heating, and it is relatively independent of factors such as homogeneity, particle size, and percent composition. It can be very dependent, however, on the addition or omission of a component in a particular composition, especially if that component plays a role in the initial exothermic reaction that occurs upon heating of the material. 

Chiral stationary phases can exist in different forms [10] (see Fig. 8). Some selectors can be used as particulate phase materials, such as polymeric cellulose triacetate. Polymeric cellulose and amylose derivatives are often coated onto silica carrier particles so that only 20% of the CSP consists of the chiral selector. This combination of stationary phase and chiral polymer combines good chromatographic properties (due to the homogeneous particle size distribution) with a high density of chiral adsorption sites in the polysaccharide derivatives. Another approach is selected for the so-called brush-type CSPs. In these, the chiral selector is covalently bound to the surface of the silica particles. These phases show high chemical inertness and allow the use of a multitude of different mobile phases. 

This method of formulating gives more homogeneous particle size distributions.
