The phrase "a decrease in particle" is not correct in standard written English.
It seems to be missing a noun that specifies what type of particle is being referred to, making it unclear.
Example: "The experiment showed a decrease in particle size, which affected the overall reaction rate."
Alternatives: "a reduction in particles" or "a decline in particle count."
Particle size distributions of the fuel show a decrease in particle size with time.
Further increase in compaction pressures might result in a decrease in particle cohesive strength.
This effect is enhanced by an increase in macroinitiator hydrophilicity and a decrease in particle size.
Nanoparticles of ZnO and MgO also have revealed that with a decrease in particle size, antibacterial activity increases [41, 42].
Increasing the gold particle content leads to a decrease in particle separation and reduces the shell thickness.
This can be explained by an increase in the perimeter area of gold particles with a decrease in particle size.
The use of carbon coating generally results in an improved cycling stability and a decrease in particles size.
In the setting of metabolic syndrome and hypertriglyceridemia, fenofibrate was shown to be more effective in reducing fasting triglyceride and increasing HDL cholesterol levels and in reducing postprandial triglyceride levels and oxidized fatty acid levels, which corresponded with a decrease in VLDL particle size and an increase in LDL particle size (21).
Chen et al. also investigated the impact of dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment on particle size of sugarcane bagasse and observed a decrease in average particle size and an increase in specific surface area of the biomass under the environment of microwave irradiation for 5 min [ 108].
It was shown that higher curing temperatures lead to a decrease in rubber particle size, but at the same time lead to an increase in the extent of particle connectivity.
A decrease in primary particle size was also observed.
