Milling of Porous Silicon Microparticles | SpringerLink
While changes in shape have been reported for porous silica particles after ballmilling, transforming from either modular or acicular to spherical (depending on the size range), milled porous silicon microparticles retain the acicular shape to some degree; being more brittle and mechanically softer, less aggressive milling conditions are required to achieve comparable sizes (Heikkila et al
