WHAT DOES MICROSPHERE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Microsphere

Microspheres are small spherical particles, with diameters in the micrometer range (typically 1 μm to 1000 μm (1 mm)). Microspheres are sometimes referred to as microparticles. Microspheres can be manufactured from various natural and synthetic materials. Glass microspheres, polymer microspheres and ceramic microspheres are commercially available. Solid and hollow microspheres vary widely in density and, therefore, are used for different applications. Hollow microspheres are typically used as additives to lower the density of a material. Solid microspheres have numerous applications depending on what material they are constructed of and what size they are. Polyethylene, polystyrene and expandable microspheres are the most common types of polymer microspheres. IUPAC definition Microparticle of spherical shape without membrane or any distinct outer layer. Note: The absence of outer layer forming a distinct phase is important to distinguish microspheres from microcapsules because it leads to first-order diffusion phenomena, whereas diffusion is zero order in the case of microcapsules.

Definition of microsphere in the English dictionary

The definition of microsphere in the dictionary is a very small medical particle, containing a diagnostic or therapeutic agent, that is injected into the blood.
