The uses of rheology are spreading beyond their traditional scope in mechanical engineering. Powder tribology, in particular, is increasingly being used in pharmaceutical formulation. How do powders ...

Several challenges may be presented when processing powder blends: the blend may be prone to segregation, the creation of agglomerates may influence homogeneity, or component powders may poorly flow ...

Granular materials, fine powders, and nanostructured powders are extensively used in numerous industrial applications. 1 Excipients, particularly, are essential in dry powder pharmaceutical ...

A European manufacturer of powder-metal (P/M) components could only produce a few parts before friction heated the compaction tooling enough that it would bind. A European manufacturer of powder-metal ...

Metal powders are used to produce a variety of industrial parts and products. A number of techniques are used to manufacture parts from metal powders, with two popular techniques being sintering and ...

Powder tribology offers a way to understand particle interactions at their contact points, capturing both interparticle friction and surface adhesion. These interactions have been studied in ...
