Morphological Effects on Powder Electrical Conductivity
The resistivity of powder beds is largely set by particle physical attributes, important across applications. Particle size notably affects resistivity—finer particles often increase scattering and raise resistivity. Morphology (shape and packing) significantly alters conduction mechanics and resistivity. Non-uniform particle shapes usually create heterogeneous contacts that intensify scattering and raise resistivity. Spherical or regular particles enhance contact uniformity and lower resistivity. Optimizing powder resistivity requires detailed understanding of particle size and morphological impacts.
