How Particle Dimensions and Morphology Influence Resistivity
The resistivity of powder beds is largely set by particle physical attributes, important across applications. Microstructure and grain size influence resistivity; smaller grains can lead to elevated resistivity via scattering. Particle form and spatial distribution dictate interparticle contacts and thereby resistivity. Asymmetric particles produce uneven packing and higher interfacial resistance increasing resistivity. Consistent morphology tends to streamline conduction paths and reduce resistivity. Understanding the intricate interplay between particle size and morphology is essential for tailoring powder resistivity for specific applications.
