Abstract
A study has been made of the range and strength of interparticle forces in lactose powder coated
with increasing concentrations of paraffins at different temperatures. Marked changes occurred in these forces as the paraffin content was altered and the temperature increased from - 100 to +SO'c. The strength and range of interparticle forces depended on the mechanical properties of the coating materials and the surface free energy of the coated powders.
