Investigation of the Influence of Atomic Layer Deposition Coatings on Powder Rheology
The current economic climate necessitates the reduction in the costs of industrial manufacturing processes while maintaining high productivity and product quality. In this study, direct evidence of the effect of the nanoscale ceramic coatings is shown via a significant improvement in flow properties of dry particles, including dynamic, bulk and shear properties obtained using a FT4 Powder Rheometer, and a marked reduction in slurry viscosity at high solid loads.
