Abstract

The collision of gas-borne particles with surfaces plays an important role in many processes of particle technology such as particle separation, dry dispersion of powders and particle measuring techniques. While for coarse particles comprehensive investigations have been performed regarding sticking and bouncing behavior, in the range of nanoparticles new issues arise e.g. the influence of adhesive forces and of restructuring during plastic deformation on the impact process. In this contribution the different interactions (elastic and plastic deformation, friction, adhesion, charge transfer) between single particles as well as agglomerates impacting on solid substrates are elucidated by a combination of simulations and experiments. It was found, that size-dependent material parameters can be used to describe the collision of nanoparticles with solid substrates using continuum approaches. The effect of the impaction on the restructuring and fragmentation was investigated leading towards a dry dispersion method for nanoparticle agglomerates at ambient pressure.
