    Nanodispersion and method of formation thereof
    WO 2010038087 A3
    Abstract
    A method of forming a stable nanodispersion comprising the steps of: (a) providing a host fluid, a particle fluid to be dispersed in the host fluid and a stabiliser; and (b) subjecting the host fluid, the particle fluid and the stabiliser to a high shear comminution process whereby a dispersion of particles of the particle fluid in the host fluid is formed, the particles of the particle fluid having a Sauter mean diameter of substantially 100nm or less, wherein an amount of stabiliser comprised in the medium corresponds substantially to the amount provided at an interface between the particles of the particle fluid and the host fluid.
