Abstract: The main objectives of nanotechnology include the establishment of processes for the development and control of the nanoparticles’ size and shape. Bottom-up or top-down methods can be used to achieve these objectives, but independently various parameters such as rotational speed, temperature, revolution time, and others must be controlled. However, both methods can be expensive, especially from an industrial point of view. To reduce production costs, we have investigated the feasibility of applying an identical top-down process to compounds with different chemical and physical properties. Starting from powders with very variable particle size, we arrive at powders with a particle size practically indistinguishable from the point of view of pharmaceutical technology. This procedure can be useful in industrial preparations.
