The respresentative particle of copper powder and branching of copper dendrites

Abstract

Electrochemically deposited copper powders, which are formed of particles of different size and morphology, are characterized by some properties like specific surface and apparent density. A procedure of the determination of a representative powder particle, exhibiting the same values of specific surface and apparent density as the powder is proposed. The proposed procedure also permints an explanation of the branching of copper dendrites.
