Mills
In most industries size reduction falls in two general categories: crushing and milling. Crushing typically means reducing large chanks to sizes about 0,5 to 0,75 or smaller. Milling usually means reducing mmaterial to sizes in the low-micron or even nano-size range. Milling may be done wet or dry. Attrition milling technologies relate to chemical processing applications. Media milling is one common way to achive desired results.

Ball mills are more suitable for coarse materials (are used large media, ranging in size 20mm diameter and more, to produce material from about 10microns to mesh sizes.
Attrition mills are more appropriate for mid-range size particles. Such millsutilize 3-10mm media to produce material ranging in size from approximately 1 to 10 microns. 
The first small media mill was named "sand mill" because it used 1/64-1/8 in Ottawa silica,Canada. Ultrafine grinding - high-perfomance small media mills - produce sub-micron particle sizes by employing beads ranging in size 0,1-1mm.
Attrition milling is simple and effective. Feed material is placed in a stationary tank with the grinding media. A rotating shaft with arms or discs then agitates the material and media. Both impact and shearing action result in size reduction as well as homogenous particle dispersion with very little wear on the tank walls. These efficient forces must be present for the most effective grinding action.
Gas Analyzer System of Measuring Emissions of Particulate Matter in Exhaust
At the end of 2009 between Materials Research Centre and State Motor Company SRI Project was signed an agreement on еngineering and technology revision of design documentation and producing of the first domestic gas analyzer system of measuring emissions of particulate matter in exhaust developed by State Motor Company SRI Project in according with international standards Euro2, Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5. At this stage the similar systems are produced only in the U.S. and Japan.
International R&D Project New Materials for Electric Drive Vehicles
This research project was organized by the U.S. Department of Energy (United States Department of Energy (DoE), Argonne National Laboratory, USA (Argonne National Laboratory, USA) unites a number of U.S. partner companies with several research organizations in Ukraine for the development of new batteries for electric drive vehicles.

MXenes potential applications include sensors, wound healing materials, and drug delivery systems. A recent study explored how different synthesis methods affect the safety and performance of MXenes. By comparing etching conditions and intercalation strategies, researchers discovered that fine-tuning the surface chemistry of MXenes plays a crucial role in improving biocompatibility. These results provide practical guidelines for developing safer MXenes and bring the field one step closer to real biomedical applications.
