ABSTRACT
The following article is a summary of combined experimental and analytical work done in order to study and model the process of impact of microparticles. It begins with a discussion of some of the classical
experimental results already published in the literature. Then, it displays and examines more recent experimental results of the oblique impact of microspheres against ultrasmooth and rough surfaces. Data from the impact of nonsmooth particles (bioaerosols) are also presented.
