Chippers and flakers are the most widely used knife reduction systems. Chippers produce coarse particles from roundwood, slabs, plywood trim, and other residues from the primary wood industry. Chippers are the initial reduction step in particle preparation and further size reduction is necessary to produce a satisfactory particle. The chipping operation may be located at the particleboard plant or the chips may be delivered to the plant from an in-woods chipping operation, a chip-n-saw mill, or from another primary wood industry. Screening after the chipper removes all fines and oversize chips before they enter the secondary reduction step. Oversize chips are recycled to the chipper and fines are normally sent to the boiler for fuel.

A number of other groups also addressed the question of the fluorescence mechanism in group II-VI semiconductor small particles [41-44]. The main flndings of a thermal repopulation mechanism for one charge carrier and a localization for the other are not altered substantially irrespective of the particle preparation and environment, such as reversed micelles and glasses. 

With the recent advancement in the pharmaceutical technology, new and innovative techniques are being employed in the fabrication of polymeric nano/microparticles (Table 57.3). A number of review articles and chapters describing various aspects of particle preparation and characterization have been published in the last few decades. - Hence we are outlining some of the techniques used in the preparation of particles, which are also used for oral peptide delivery. Particles are prepared mainly by two processes. The first process is the in situ polymerization of monomer through suitable polymerization process to yield polymeric particulates. The second process is based on the dispersion of well-characterized preformed polymers of synthetic or natural origin using a suitable technique (Scheme 57.2).

Poly (Vinyl Acetate-co-Methacrylic acid) copolymeric microspheres crosslinked with N, N -methylene bisacrylamide have been prepared by free radical emulsion polymerization. The microspheres have been characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffractometry (X-RD) to understand about the drag dispersion in microspheres. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to assess the surface morphology of particles prepared, and observe the spherical nature...

The principle and the research progress in the electrophoretic sol-gel deposition technique, which is combined sol-gel method for particle preparation and electrophoretic deposition of the sol-gel derived particles, have been described. In the principal, (1) preparation of particles by the sol-gel method, (2) deposition of particles by electrophoresis, (3) constant-voltage and constant-current deposition, and (4) solvent and electrification are introduced, hi the practical application, (1) silica thickfihns, (2) titania thick films, (3) polysilsesquioxane thick films, and (4) template-based oxide nanorods are illustrated. The electrophoretic sol-gel deposition technique offers the advantages of functional coatings in various research fields such as chemically and mechanically protective, electrically conductive, photocatalytic and bioactive materials, and it expands the possibility of fabricating optical components and ahgned micro- and nanostructures.
