Some Aspects of Computer Approaches to Simulation of Bimodal Sphere Packing in Material Engineering

Abstract

This paper summarize idealized theoretical studies of bicomponent particle packing parameters, affecting the phase and pore structure of obtained materials. Such a kind of analysis can be used both in theoretical consideration of material engineering problems and in chemical industry. The effects of key variables on the relationship between packing fraction and particle size were re-examined for general application. Potential applications of these results include synthesis of nanopaterials, adsorbents, catalyst carriers and packing for chromatographic columns. Directions for future research are suggested.
