From grains to powders: from single particle contact mechanics measurements to bulk powder properties

ABSTRACT

Adhesion and friction forces were measured for single micrometer-sized particles mounted onto tipless AFM cantilever using the Particle Interaction Apparatus (PIA) and commercial AFMs as described previously (Preuss 1998; Heim 1999).
