Powders, Volume 1, Issue 4

Powder manufacturing processes involve a systematic processing of particulate material towards forming a final product which needs to meet specific quality standards. A means towards ensuring that standards are met in a manufacturing plant is to appl...

This paper investigates a current challenge that enables the hybridization of different materials using a solid-state additive principle. We investigate the suitability of such a principle to easily and efficiently grow a metallic electrically conduc...

Cylindrical packed beds of spheres are found in many industrial and practical applications where heat and mass transfer and fluid flow occur. A proper understanding of the porous structure is imperative for the analysis and design of the performance...

To improve the powder properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), we coated APIs with silica nanoparticles using a dry process that allowed for direct compression into tablets. The dry coating performed with different apparatuses (a batch...

Powder coatings are a green alternative to conventional solvent-borne liquid coatings, but they have the intrinsic drawback of color-matching and adjustment in production with the conventional extrusion process. In this study, an industrially applica...

Additive manufacturing (AM) as a disruptive technique has offered great potential to design and fabricate many metallic components for aerospace, medical, nuclear, and energy applications where parts have complex geometry. However, a limited number o...

The air quality in a hospital’s underground car park is a concern because diesel fumes from cars impact upon vulnerable people attending medical consultations. This research aims to quantify the potential health risk associated with a particula...
