Does Density of Microspheres Matter for Fluid Suspension?

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.

Measuring Roundess of Microsparticles

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 roll and spread out….

Density of Powder - How to Measure Accurately

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 is d=m/V, where d…

Are Microplastics Toxic? Effects of Microplastics on the Environment

What are microplastics? Microplastic (MP) is a broad term used to describe microscopic plastics with sizes ranging from 1um to 5mm 1. Anything less than that can be considered nanoplastic (NP), which is also prevalent in the ocean. The shapes of microplastics can vary from fragments, fibers, pellets, film, and spheres2. The properties such as the size, shape, and…

Hydrophobic Particles in Solution

Fortunately, there is a simple way to overcome the hydrophobic effect. It is called a surfactant, a detergent, or simply ?soap.? Surfactant is a magical molecule that has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, which coats the particles and helps them mix into water. The same mechanism applies when we use soap to wash greasy dishes or stained clothes.

Microspheres in Drug Delivery Systems – 2 Essential Uses

| Categories: Applications of Microspheres, Drug Delivery, Fluorescent Microspheres, Medical Devices, Microsphere Basics, Polyethylene Microspheres, Polymer Microspheres, Polystyrene Microspheres
Polystyrene Microspheres

Benefits of Microspheres in Drug Delivery There are numerous benefits of using microspheres in drug delivery due to their precise uniform dimensions, larger surface area per unit volume, as well as the ability to be surface-functioalized or loaded with active compounds and other additives. Typically microspheres in drug delivery are manufactured out of biodegradable materials such as PLGA, polylactic…

Microspheres Online:

Microspheres Online is a digital database and a compilation of technical resources on microspheres and precision spherical particles. The resources are compiled and maintained by Cospheric LLC - the leading manufacturer and global supplier of precision spherical particles based in Santa Barbara, CA, USA.

The intention for this resource is to provide a service to the scientific community word-wide enabling breakthroughs in science and technology.

What are Microspheres?

Microspheres are spherical particles on the micro scale (between 1micron and 1000micron (1mm) in diameter). Spherical particles below 1micron we consider to be nanoscale and therefore call them nanospheres. Spheres over 1mm in diameter are simply called spheres, beads, or balls.

Microspheres are solid, meaning they might be completely solid throughout or they might have a solid wall (shell).
