The ball milling method: A ball mill contains a stainless steel container and many small iron, hardened steel, silicon carbide, or tungsten carbide balls are made to rotate inside a mill (drum). The powder of a material is taken inside the steel container. This powder will be made into nanosize using the ball milling technique.

involve grinding). With Lloyd''s ball milling book having sold over 2000 copies, there are probably over 1000 home built ball mills operating in just America alone. This article borrows from Lloyd''s research, which was obtained from the commercial ball milling industry, and explains some of the key design criteria for making your own ball mill.
In this method, controlled segregation of atoms or molecules occurs as they are assembled into desired nanostructures (2–10 nm size range). In general, there are two basic methods utilizing the bottom-up approach, i.e., gas-phase synthesis and liquid-phase formation.

Bottom up methods. Nanoparticle synthesis using bottom up approach is based on formation nanoparticles from smaller molecules like joining of atoms, molecules or small particles. In this method, nanostructured building blocks of the nanoparticles first formed and then assembled to produce final nanoparticle . 2.2.1. Solid state methods2.2.1.1.

Manufacturing of carbon nanotubes using metal catalyzed polymerization method is a good example for bottom-up approach nanotechnology. Molecular machines and manufacturing is a concept of bottom-up nanotechnology introduced by Eric Drexler in his book Engines of Creation in 1987.
Aerosol-based processes are a common method for the industrial production of nanoparticles. Aerosols can be defined as solid or liquid particles in a gas phase, where the particles can range from molecules up to 100 µm in size. Aerosols were used in industrial manufacturing long before the basic science and engineering of aerosols were understood.
Various bottom-up and top-down techniques have been developed to produce ZnO micro/nanostructures, including condensation of thermally vaporized ZnO powders [11], wet-chemistry hydrothermal growth [12] and solvothermal method [13], physical deposi-tion [14], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [15] using vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) method

Ball milling is a size reduction technique that uses media in a rotating cylindrical chamber to mill materials to a fine powder. As the chamber rotates, the media is lifted up on the rising side and then cascades down from near the top of the chamber. With this motion, the particles in between the media and chamber walls are reduced in size by

Ball milling is a mechanical technique that is broadly used to grind powders into fine particles [134–141]. The reactants are generally broken apart using solvent molecules in the traditional method; but in ball milling, reactants are broken by using mechanical forces. The term mechanochemistry has been introduced very recently [142].
In mechanical milling, the kinetic energy of the rollers/balls is transferred to the bulk material, which results in the reduction in grain size . Parameters such as the type of mill, milling atmosphere, milling media, intensity, time and temperature play a crucial role in controlling the shape and size of the NPs [ 88 , 89 ].

Introduction: ‘Ball milling is a method used to break down the solids to smaller sizes or into a powder. A ball mill is a type of grinder which consists of a cylinder. It is used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. The cylinder rotates around a horizontal axis.
It is classified as bottom-up manufacturing which involves building up of the atom or molecular constituents as against the top method which involves making smaller and smaller structures through etching from the bulk material as exemplified by the semiconductor industry. The ball milling and rod milling techniques belong to the mechanical
