Abstract
The importance of particle shape in affecting the behaviour of powders and other particulate systems has long been recognised, but until fairly recently particle shape information has been rather difficult to obtain and use compared to its more well-known companion - particle size. Because of advances in computing power and 3D image acquisition and analysis techniques, the measurement, description and application of particle shape has experienced a great leap forward in recent years. Since we are in a digital era, it is befitting that many of these advanced techniques are digitally based. This review article aims to trace the development of these new techniques, highlight their contributions to both academic and practical applications, and present a future perspective.Citation
