High-Quality Melamine Resin Spheres: From 500 nm to 15 µm
microParticles GmbH introduced monodisperse melamine resin (MF) particles as an extremely versatile product range at the end of the 1990s. Melamine resin spheres are popular due to their excellent monodispersity, mechanical and chemical stability, and adaptable surface chemistry. These MF particles are also characterized by low non-specific protein adsorption and high colloidal stability under various pH and electrolyte conditions. Their versatility allows them to be used in drug delivery, optical standards, and nanocomposites.
