Particle technology as a uniform discipline? Towards a holistic approach to particles, their creation, characterisation, handling and processing!

Abstract "Can particle technology, in spite of its multiplicity, be regarded, and scientifically taught, as a uniform discipline?" wondered H. Rumpf, one of the founding fathers of particle science, in a programmatic speech which he gave 40 years ago. Given his passion for particle science, he of course answered his question with "yes". Now, 40 years later, working parties of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, all working on particle technology, managed to organize their second joint event called 'International Conference on Processing, Handling and Characterization of Particulate Materials - PARMAT', in the framework of which this issue of CHERD was edited.
