1) In order to efficiently prepare fine powders, it is important to use a suitable grinding or classification machine for particle size and characteristics.
2) Using grinding and classifying technologies, it is possible to produce toners similar to chemical ones in particle shape and size distribution.
3) The RF plasma is a useful method for the synthesis ofmany kinds of nano powders.
4) The vapor pressure ratio is a key parameter to prepare the composite nano powders
5) The particle size and crystallinity of barium titanate(BaTiO3) nano powders could be controlled by doping Zr.
