PhD: Formulation-structure-property relationships for spray dried titanium dioxide
This project explores the influence of formulation on the structure and properties of spray dried titanium dioxide, with a focus of understanding the influence of formulation on powder handling during processing.
This project follows on from the C#1 project of Yefeng Li.
