A method for producing metal or metal alloy particles may include: mixing a mixture comprising: (a) a metal or a metal alloy, (b) a carrier fluid, and optionally (c) an emulsion stabilizer at a temperature at or greater than a melting point of the metal or the metal alloy to create a dispersion of molten droplets of the metal or the metal alloy dispersed in the carrier fluid; cooling the mixture to below the melting point of the metal or the metal alloy to form metal or metal alloy particles; and separating the metal or metal alloy particles from the carrier fluid, wherein the metal or metal alloy particles comprise the metal or the metal alloy and the emulsion stabilizer, if included.

Metal and fusible metal alloy particles and related methods

Powder particulates comprising a water-soluble polymer may be formed by melt emulsification. Compositions comprising powder particulates may comprise a plurality of particulates comprising a water-soluble polymer and a plurality of nanoparticles, the water-soluble polymer defining at least an outer surface of the particulates and at least a majority of the plurality of nanoparticles being disposed upon the outer surface.
