Granutools Presentations at AIChE 2025
1. Understanding the Relation Between Permeability and Packing Fraction to Improve Tablet Manufacturing
Presenter: Aurélien Neveu, Head of Laboratory and Applications
Date & Time: Monday, November 3, 2025 | 1:42 PM – 2:00 PM
Location: Liberty Ballroom C (2, Sheraton Boston)
This presentation explores how powder permeability, measured at various packing fractions using GranuPack, influences tablet quality.
By correlating permeability data with tensile strength and disintegration behavior, the study provides insights into optimizing pharmaceutical formulations and improving processability.
2. Spreadability of Metal Powders: Combining Powder Characterization and DEM Simulations
Presenter: Aurélien Neveu
Date & Time: Tuesday, November 4, 2025 | 8:54 AM – 9:12 AM
Location: Independence Ballroom West (2, Sheraton Boston)
Aurélien Neveu presents a hybrid approach combining GranuDrum characterization with DEM simulations to analyze powder spreadability in additive manufacturing.
The study demonstrates how cohesive strength, particle size, and recoater speed affect layer formation, validated through confocal microscopy and experimental spreading tests.
3. How Powder Characterization Can Improve Battery Electrode Production
Presenter: Aurélien Neveu
Date & Time: Tuesday, November 4, 2025 | 4:42 PM – 5:00 PM
Location: Liberty Ballroom C (2, Sheraton Boston)
This talk highlights how powder characterization can enhance dry processes in battery electrode manufacturing. Techniques such as dry mixing, fibrillation, and composite preparation are analyzed using Granutools instruments to predict performance and calibrate DEM simulations for deeper process understanding.
Session Chair: Powder Handling and Processing for Battery Materials
Chair: Aurélien Neveu
Date & Time: Tuesday, November 4, 2025 | 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Liberty Ballroom C (2, Sheraton Boston)
This session focuses on particle engineering, powder characterization, and process optimization for battery electrode manufacturing. Topics include dry processing, material behavior, and the link between powder properties and final battery performance.
