Powder characterization, process understanding,
and practical testing
Delft Solids Solutions contributes applied powder knowledge to
PowderTechnology.info through technical mailings, characterization
expertise, training, and practical interpretation of powder behavior.
Use this page to explore that knowledge, connect it to the relevant
measurement question, and find current DSS courses.
DSS expertise
Characterization connected to the behavior that matters
A useful result starts with the question the measurement must answer. DSS works across particle characterization, bulk behavior, surface and pore structure, and powder processing so results can be interpreted in the context of the material and process rather than as isolated numbers.
DSS Knowledge Archive
Practical technical mailings from Delft Solids Solutions
Browse the DSS technical mailing archive for practical discussions of particle characterization, powder behavior, process problems, measurement choices, and interpretation. The archive is synchronized from the curated DSS Mailchimp collection and updates automatically as new technical mailings are sent.
