1. 4 Liquid crystalline materials consist of two domainsh the rigid part of the molecule, tending to aggregate into large stacks, and the flexible part, which can be derived from TDGA. Liquid crystals exhibit both fluid and solid properties over a certain temperature range. Liquid crystal display (LCD) technology has found new applications in a diverse range of consumer goods.

8. The FBRM (focused beam rotating measurement) probe contains a laser beam that is rotating continuously with high speed, while the reflection of light by the particles is being measured. This online in situ measurement technique provides relevant data regarding the dynamic behaviour of the particles used in the process.
9. The PVM (photo video measurement) technique consists of a probe that can be placed into the reactor. The probe continuously provides video images of the reaction mixture (even with quite dense slurries), which can be used, for example, to observe changes in particle structure.

12. 10,15,18 Because of the geometric similarity of the reactors S remains 4 at all scales, and so only the stirrer diameter and the average particle diameter are variables.

14. In theory the geometry factor S can be calculated from b, provided that there is a small inaccuracy. Here the inaccuracy is too high in the linear fit to obtain a reliable geometry factor.
15. One remark about a chord length has to be made. It is not the same as a particle diameter, but in the case of sphere-like shapes it will be a tolerable approximation.
