As opposed to program 1 where the transformation of solids is considered at the local scale, program 2 addresses the whole grain population of the sample, whether pure, in the form of a mixture, reactive or not.
The physicochemical and mechanical properties of granular packing are studied experimentally and modelled in the framework of different applications :
compression of pharmaceutical powders (improvement of the usage properties of starch tablets dry granulation of organic powders using roll-compaction
improvement of doped-alumina sintering for the development of sensors for ionising radiations
Mastering powder morphology is now studied through 3 new PhD topics : study of the effects of organic additives on clinker grinding preparation of phosphor powders with controlled morphology. influence of sand packing on the properties of granular media
