Herein, we report a hydrothermal method to synthesize pristine and Ag-doped WO3
nanoplates and study their multifunctional competence in the accomplishment of enhanced …

Bulk hydrogels traditionally used for tissue engineering and drug delivery have numerous
limitations, such as restricted injectability and a nanoscale porosity that reduces cell …

We present measurements of the stress response of packings formed from a wide range of
particle shapes. Besides spheres these include convex shapes such as the Platonic solids …

Adequacy of approximation of ellipsoidal particles composed of a set of sub-spheres for
numerical Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations is examined. The algorithm of …

The importance of particle shape in terms of its effects on the behaviour of powders and
other particulate systems has long been recognised, but particle shape information has …

Particle shape and particle size distribution are both important factors which could influence
the physical properties of granular materials. Due to the high content of cellulose …

Roundness/angularity is a vital shape descriptor that significantly impacts the mechanical
response of granular materials and is closely associated with many geotechnical problems …

Particle motion in granular systems is common in nature and industrial processes. Along
with particle size and density, the shape of particles also plays a crucial role in the dynamic …

Flowability is important for characterizing particulate materials. Some simple measurements,
such as the Hausner ratio and angle of repose, are used to compare materials, and more …

To study the distribution of ferrous burden (which is a mixture of pellets and sinter) in the
blast furnace, the burden must be characterised in terms of input parameters which can be …
