Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
the
average particle size of SA prepared in the passive
microreaction system is 871.6 nm, and the particle size
ranges from 712.4 nm to 1106.4 nm. In contrast, the average
particle size of SA prepared by the batch method is 465.1 nm,
and the particle size ranges from 255.0 nm to 825.0 nm
