The 1.2µm and 100µm silicon carbide were prepared by the process of reshaping and classification. The effect of particle morphology and particle size distribution of silicon carbide on tap density, green body density and apparent viscosity of slurry were analysized. The result showed that the particle size distribution closed to normal distribution and the particle morphology closed to spherical were the main cause that leads to the lower apparent viscosity and the higher density of the green body.

Small-angle scattering (SAS) and ultra small-angle scattering techniques, employing x-rays and neutrons, were used to characterize six different aluminum nanopowders and nanopowders composed of molybdenum trioxide and tungsten trioxide nanoparticles. Each material has different primary particle morphology and aggregate and agglomerate geometry, and each is important to the development of nano-energetic materials. The combination of small-angle and ultra small-angle techniques allowed a wide range of length scales to be probed, providing a more complete characterization of the materials. For the aluminum-based materials, differences in the scattering of x-rays and neutrons from aluminum and aluminum oxide provided sensitivity to the metal core and metal oxide shell structure of the primary nanoparticles. Small-angle scattering was able to discriminate between particle size and shape and agglomerate and aggregate geometry, allowing analysis of both aspects of the structure. Using the results of these analyses and guided by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, physical models were developed, allowing for a quantitative determination of particle morphology, mean nanoparticle size, nanoparticle size distribution, surface layer thickness, and aggregate and agglomerate fractal dimension. Particle size distributions calculated using a maximum entropy algorithm or by assuming a log-normal particle size distribution function were comparable. Surface area and density determinations from the small-angle scattering measurements were comparable to those obtained from other, more commonly used analytical techniques: gas sorption using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and helium pycnometry. Particle size distribution functions derived from the SAS measurements agreed well with those obtained from SEM.

Urea intercalation compounds were produced in a new designed industrial scale. The conditions and locations of the new industrial process for the production of urea intercalation compound pigment were studied through the control of correlative parameters. Properties of the compound pigment such as particle morphology, particle size distribution and viscosity, were analyzed to evaluate its potentiality for paper coating application. Results showed that the intercalation ratio of urea intercalation compound increased from 6.3% with 2wt. % of urea addition to 56.08% with 6wt.% of urea addition. Viscosity concentration of urea intercalation compound improved from 69% of original kaolinite to the highest value, 74.23% of the compound. Particle size distribution was centralized. Properties of light weight papers coated with urea intercalation compound showed interesting results, similar to a standard grade.

Abstract. The accurate representation of ice particles is essential for both remotely-sensed estimates of cloud and precipitation and numerical models of the atmosphere. As it is typical in radar retrievals to assume that all snow is composed of unrimed aggregate snowflakes, both denser rimed snow and the mixed-phase cloud in which riming occurs may be under-diagnosed in retrievals, and therefore difficult to evaluate in weather and climate models. Recent experimental and numerical studies have yielded methods for using triple-frequency radar measurements to distinguish fractal aggregate snowflakes from more dense and homogeneous rimed particles. In this study we investigate which parameters of the particle size distribution (PSD) and morphology of ice particles are most important to the triple-frequency radar signature of snow, in order to carry out an optimal estimation retrieval using triple-frequency Doppler radar observations. We represent a range of ice particle morphologies using a fractal model for aggregate snowflakes and homogeneous spheroids to represent rimed graupel-like particles, and modulate the prefactor and exponent of the particles' mass-size relations with a density factor. We find that for both fractal particles and homogeneous spheroids the PSD shape has a greater influence on the triple-frequency radar signature than the density factor, and show that the PSD shape must be allowed to vary to adequately constrain a triple-frequency radar retrieval of snow. We then demonstrate a novel triple-frequency Doppler radar retrieval of three parameters of the PSD as well as particle density, and show that the estimated snow rate, PSD and bulk density compare well against in situ observations at the surface. In a case study of compact rimed snow, we find that triple-frequency radar measurements provide a strong constraint on the estimation of PSD shape, but a relatively weak constraint on particle density, which we find can be more directly estimated from the Doppler velocity due to the relation between particle density and fallspeed. Including variations in PSD shape as well as particle morphology allows for a better representation of the triple-frequency radar signatures of rimed and unrimed snow, and suggests the potential for making new insights into the interaction between particles during aggregation and riming mechanisms. However, we find that improved representation of the PSD shape has a limited impact on improved estimates of snow rate from radar. The importance of the PSD shape to triple-frequency radar retrievals of snow suggests that further work is needed to account for variations in PSD shape before triple-frequency radar measurements can be used to better constrain particle morphology.

The paper presented here deals with rheological and hardening properties during the setting reaction, and density and compressive strength after the final setting of a figuline composite consisting of Ca2KNa(PO4)2and 2wt% medium gel strength gelatin. Compared to the composite with monomodal particle size distribution (d50=7.18µm; span=3.9) and its properties during and after setting reaction, the goal of this work is to increase the resulting product compressive strength by mixing different particle sizes in order to obtain bi- and trimodal distributions. For the bimodal powder mixtures the ratio in diameter (dcourse/dsmall) was chosen with 7/1 and volume ratio dcourse/dsmallwas 70/30%. For the trimodal powder mixtures the ratio in diameter (dcourse/dmedium/dsmall) was chosen with 70/7/1 and volume ratio dcourse/dmedium/dsmallwas set to 44/28/28%.After establishing an adequate crushing and sieving process the tap density and powder density of each fraction was determined. Subsequently, the different particle sizes were mixed and the densities and the Hausner ratio were determined again. The mixtures show an increase in both densities especially the tap density increased significantly. Rheological investigations show that the graphs of storage and loss moduli of the multimodal powder mixtures respectively are similar. The characteristic setting times show a slight decrease compared with the monomodal composite but not significantly different data. When comparing the resulting compressive strength of cylindrical samples, which were stored direct after reaching the initial setting time under physiological conditions, the studies illustrated in all cases for the multimodal mixtures a significant increase in compressive strength and a higher density.
