A device for deagglomerating fine powders in aerosol-based processes
Background The field of powder technology is crucial in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, ceramics, and metallurgy, where the manipulation and processing of fine powders are essential. A significant challenge in this field is the tendency of fine powders to agglomerate, forming larger clusters that can impede the efficiency and quality...

Nozzle design for high-velocity deposition of ceramic nanoparticles
Background The micro-cold spray (MCS) method offers a promising technique for produc­ing dense metal and ceramic films with thicknesses ranging from 1 to 100 μm. Unlike conventional methods, MCS operates by aerosolizing particles (with diameters ranging from 200 nm to 5 μm) in a carrier gas, which are then accelerated through a nozzle into...

Flash-sintered additive manufacturing
Background Ceramics have been found useful in increasingly diverse applications in modern industry because of their high mechanical strength, low thermal conductivity, and high wear and corrosion resistance. In addition, the bio-compatibility of some ceramics allows them to be used for body prostheses, dental, and tissue engineering scaffolds. These...
