Size and Shape Dependencies of Powder Resistivity
The resistivity of powder beds is largely set by particle physical attributes, important across applications. Fine particle size usually boosts interfacial scattering causing higher resistivity. Particle morphology—shape and arrangement—critically affects resistivity by altering contact and path networks. Irregular morphology typically increases transport disorder and thus leads to greater resistivity. Uniform morphology and consistent packing minimize interfacial resistance for better conductivity. Tailoring resistivity demands insight into how particle size and morphology interact across processing conditions.
