A suspension containing 20‐nm‐size inorganic particles was subjected to electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) in the stable cone‐jet mode. The droplet sizes generated were measured using laser diffraction. These results are compared to the stable cone‐jet mode of atomization of a suspension containing 500‐nm particles in the same liquid medium. Significant differences in the droplet size distributions were observed. The nano‐suspension showed a tri‐modal distribution while the micro‐suspension was near‐monodisperse.
