Powder consolidation with time
Other Behavioural Properties
Utilising the dynamic methodologies of the FT4, and good experimental design, it is possible to investigate a number of other behavioural properties of powders. These include: -
-
Caking
-
Moisture
The influence of free moisture on the behaviour of the powder
-
Segregation
The potential for particles to rearrange according to their size / density
-
Attrition
Particle friability, resulting in changes in particle size, shape and surface area
-
Electrostatics
Changes in behaviour as a function of electrostatic charging
-
Agglomeration
The formation of agglomerates from primary particles, usually as a function of being processed
