Talk:Ultrafine particles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would it not make sense to merge this page with Particulate? Oderbolz (talk) 17:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

On the surface it might make sense. However, ultrafines behave very differently form the more familiar particles discussed inParticulate. Gravity is not particularly important to their movement and they might behave more like gas than solid. In addition, the typical methods for measuring particluates (mass concentration and the like) are clearly not usefull for ultrafines, and we have yet to figure out what is useful. So at this point I think it would be better to keep this as a separate article.

On the otherhand, this article should either recognize a difference between Nanoparticle and Ultrafine particle (and such a difference can be articulated) or should be combined with the nanoparticle article. Pzavon (talk) 00:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
