Abstract

Recent development of industry has resulted in an increased interest in the preparation of various structures of micro- and nanometric sizes. Intensified experimental research in the field of micro- and nanotechnology has facilitated the explanation of many scientific phenomena and enabled the production of micro- and nanodevices. Spherical structures can be designed to obtain unique properties and find applications in science and industry. In addition, they can be prepared using biodegradable and by-products materials. Micro- and nanomaterials can be used as novel drug delivery systems, adsorbents, supports, catalysts and many other. In this chapter general description of technology of spherical particles is presented.
