TWC16 Compaction and Sintering
OverviewWe would like to invite papers relating to compaction and sintering. More specifically, we would like to invite papers on the modeling and analysis (both theoretical and experimental) of compaction in pharmaceutical (e.g. tabletting) and chemical industries (e.g. catalyst manufacturing). Especially, we would be interested in research results showing how modeling can help determine final properties of these materials.
