Abstract

Abstract A method for the preparation of composite particles having a specified range of particle size and comprising a finely divided, magnetic, particulate material embedded in a matrix of a linear polymeric material, which method comprises the steps of: A. forming discrete liquid droplets consisting of or containing the polymer, together with the particulate material; B. causing or allowing the droplets to form into solid particles; C. separating from the thus-formed particles those of the desired size range; D. re-converting the remaining particles to liquid form; and E. returning the re-liquified particles to step (a).
