Aerosol synthesis of materials is a vibrant field of particle technology and chemical reaction
engineering. Examples include the manufacture of carbon blacks, fumed SiO2, pigmentary …

The present work deals with the main mechanisms involved in caking of amorphous
powders and its theoretical background. After a brief outline of the general basics, the review …

Gas-phase (aerosol) technology is used widely in manufacture of various nanostructured
commodities at tons/hour today. So it is quite promising for synthesis of sophisticated …

Predicting physical properties of materials with spatially complex structures is one of the
most challenging problems in material science. One key to a better understanding of such …

Multiparticle sintering is encountered in almost all high temperature processes for material
synthesis (titania, silica, and nickel) and energy generation (eg, fly ash formation) resulting …

Rapid prototyping has been applied so far in the production of special parts at low piece
numbers. Currently,'rapid prototyping'gradually is transferred to additive manufacturing …

Additive manufacturing processes like selective laser beam melting of polymers (LBM) are
established for production of prototypes and individualized parts. The transfer to serial …

Silica aerogels are extensively used for thermal insulation at high temperatures. However, it
has been experimentally found that high temperature can change the pore structure and …

Responding to the need for thermoelectric materials with high efficiency in both conversion
and cost, we developed a nanostructured bulk silicon thermoelectric materials by sintering …

The mechanical principles of viscous sintering were analyzed by finite element simulation of
a simple model: the coalescence of two identical spheres. The sintering force in the non …
