The overestimated capability of fluid shear to induce secondary nucleation: an urgent call for diligently executed control experiments

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This work discusses four experimental setups designed to isolate secondary nucleation by fluid shear. No fluid shear-induced secondary nucleation could be observed though, demonstrating the need for more rigorous control experiments in the field.
