Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Particulate solids make up more than half of the globally manufactured products in various sectors such as food, healthcare, homecare, personal care, minerals, additive manufacturing, energy and fine chemicals. The science and knowledge of manufacturing, processing and handling of particulate solids, commonly known as particle technology, has significant industrial importance. Understanding and predicting the collective behaviour of particles in different conditions, for example, in packing, mixing and flow, is vitally important for the design, optimization and control of many processes; at the same time, however, it is very challenging due to the complexity and heterogeneity of particulate systems. To address the aforementioned challenge, a multidisciplinary approach based on a thorough characterization of particulate solids, advanced process measurements and modelling across different length and time scales is required. Based upon recent scientific and technological advances, this Special Issue aims to present state-of-the-art research and developments in the field of particle technology in the following key areas:
- Cutting-edge particle characterization;
- Advanced process measurements and optimization;
- Multiscale and multiphase modelling of particulate systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
