Does Shape of Microparticles Matter? Particle shape plays a critical role in how the particles travel, behave, interact with each other and their environment. It also influences particle flow characteristics. Flow characteristics (ball-bearing effect) of spherical particles: Spherical shape of microparticles is often desirable because spheres and microspheres are well-known for their ball-bearing effect. They … Read more
Spherical Particle Shape of Viruses and Droplets: Due to the global pandemic, there has been a big focus on Coronavirus research and a lot of pressure for researchers and scientists to understand how Coronavirus spreads, as well as how we can effectively stop that spread by implementing effective cleaning protocols, prevention of respiratory droplets traveling, … Read more
What is the density of material? Before we start talking specifically about measuring the density of powders, let’s look at the concept of measuring density in general. What does “density” mean? According to Encyclopedia Britannica, density is defined as mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density of a substance … Read more
When is the density of microspheres important? Density of microspheres controls the buoyancy of each particle and its behavior in a system or process. Let’s look at three scenarios: (1) suspension of microspheres in a specific fluid, (2) fluid flow, performing flow visualizations, or particle image velocimetry, and (3) simulation or modeling of objects with specific density.
Precision Large Polystyrene (PS) Spheres now available. Sizes of 2mm and 4.4mm, with Size ranges as narrow as 0.2% CV (Coefficient of Variation)
We are compiling a digital database on everything that has to do with microspheres and creating a destination for scientists working with precision spherical particles.
