The Impact of Particle Size and Morphology on Powder Resistivity

Powder resistivity hinges on particle morphology and size, impacting multiple technology domains. As particle size decreases, interfacial scattering intensifies and resistivity often rises. Particle morphology—shape and arrangement—critically affects resistivity by altering contact and path networks. Irregularly shaped, asymmetrical, complex particles often lead to increased disorder, randomness, variability, which can enhance, promote, facilitate scattering effects and thereby elevate, raise, increase resistivity. Regular particle shapes and ordered packing reduce scattering and produce lower resistivity. Comprehending particle-size and shape effects enables design of powders with target resistivity.
