Abstract
The packing density of irregular shaped particles greatly affects the properties of highly filled particulate composite materials. The effects of particle size distribution parameters on the packing density of fused silica powder and cristobalite flour powder of different size ranges is reported. Various size distributions, according to the log-normal function, were prepared by sieving and characterized by light scattering, using a Malvern 2600 light scattering instrument. The apparent and tap density of the various powders was used to characterize the packing density. The size distribution width was found to have a major effect on the packing density. In addition, the particle size was found to affect the packing density however, its significance depends on the size range and shape of the particles. Mixtures of powders, each having a different size distribution, behave differently.
