Invitation for Papers

Papers are invited in the following thematic areas:

Manufacturing and functionalisation of particulates or structured particulate products from the nanometre to millimetre scale.

• Particulate product design and particle chemistry
• Particulate solids handling and processing
• Suspension, dispersion, and granular flows
• Pneumatic and hydraulic conveying, and fluidisation
• Process control

Measuring techniques for particulate systems

• Particle size, shape, and structure analysis
• Rheological analysis
• Measurement of electrical charges
• Single particle and bulk powder characterisation
• Cohesive powder characterisation
• Non-intrusive particle tracking techniques
• Flow measurement
• Emerging techniques for nano particulate systems

Modelling of particulate systems

• Modelling of particulate systems across length scales

New theories and methods for nano particulate systems

The PSA2005 conference and exhibition will be relevant to a range of scientific, technological and engineering sectors, in particular, the pharmaceutical, nuclear, chemical, biomedical, mineral, food and household product industries.

Selected papers will be published in special issues of ‘Particle and Particle Systems Characteri-sation’, ‘Particulate Science and Technology’ and ‘Powder Technology’.
