-To present to the student the fundamentals of the main techniques available to characterize granulometric properties, rheological and microstructural of powders and compacted solids.
-To familiarize the student with the characterization of solids, powders and compacted equipment management and the use of software useful for the estimation of the most important parameters.
-To promote the integration of the information from different sources and techniques.
1. Characterization of the flow properties of powders. Methods based on the determination of shear forces.
2. Characterization of the compaction properties. Force curves and compression models.
3. Microstructural characterization of solids, powders and compacted. Adsorption of gases and Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry.
4. Water-solids interactions: Characterization and models.
