Abstract:Powder rheology and its sensitivity to surrounding environmental condition by controlling the surface properties of the particles is one of the major challenges of the powder industries. Indeed, handling large quantities needs powders with good flowability, adequate compressibility and few electrostatic charges. We have performed a chemical treatment in order to obtain hydrophobic glass beads and its bulk behavior has been compared with raw glass beads depending on the humidity. We characterized flow propertie… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
