The use of granular materials and fine powders are commonplace in industrial applications. These materials must be precisely characterized in order to properly control and optimize processing methods, ...

To control and to optimize processing methods, granular materials and fine powders have to be precisely characterized for use in industrial applications. Chemical composition, morphology, granulation, ...

Electrostatic charges are produced inside a powder at the time of flow. This apparition of electric charges is caused by the triboelectric effect — a charge exchange that occurs at the contact between ...

Many materials involved in manufacturing, handling, and using microelectronic parts easily become electrostatically charged when rubbed. If charged surfaces come near static-sensitive devices, the ...

Electrostatic adsorption is an important complement to mechanical filtration for high-efficiency air filtering in the use of face masks. However, the electrostatic charge of the filters decays over ...
