Particle science and technology is a rapidly develo** interdisciplinary research area with
its core being the understanding of the relationships between micro-and macroscopic …

Wet agglomeration processes have traditionally been considered an empirical art, with great
difficulties in predicting and explaining observed behaviour. Industry has faced a range of …

Recent advances in understanding model systems of wet granular materials are presented,
with particular emphasis on statistical concepts, dynamics, and phase transitions. It is …

Process simulation using mathematical modeling tools is becoming more common in the
pharmaceutical industry. A mechanistic model is a mathematical modeling tool that can …

This paper presents an attempt to quantify the relationship between porosity and
interparticle forces for mono-sized spheres. Two systems are considered: the packing of wet …

Air-suspension particle coating has been slow to develop in the food industry. This is not
surprising considering the economic constraints for low cost ingredients and low cost …

We propose a simple expression for the rupture energy of a pendular liquid bridge between
two spheres, taking into account capillary and viscous (lubrication) forces. In the case of …

The key areas of soil physics: structure, water, aeration, and strength and stability are
discussed. Recent developments in experimental techniques and theory are reviewed. In …

Wet fluidized bed granulation and coating processes have been widely used in the
pharmaceutical and food industries. The complex gas–solid flow coupled with heat and …

Clustering of alumina inclusions during liquid processing of steel significantly influences its
cleanliness and mechanical properties. We have therefore studied the effect of alumina …
