Freeman Technology, Tewkesbury, UK, has published a new educational guide entitled ‘An introduction to powders’. Written in a straightforward, easy-to-understand style, the publication explains how and why powders behave the way they do, and how these factors affect powder processing and characterisation. Focusing on how the three components of a powder – the particles, surrounding air and any moisture present - interact to define powder behaviour, the booklet provides a valuable foundation for people with little prior knowledge of powders as well as being a useful resource for those looking to expand their understanding of the factors relevant to product development and processing performance. Authored by managing director Tim Freeman, it is now available to download free of charge via the Freeman Technology website at www.freemantech.co.uk/index.php?id=415
