The methods used for flow characterization of a powder mass include the angle of repose (AOR), Carrindex (CI), and powder flow tester (PFT). The use of nanosilica as a flow modifier (glidant) is very com-mon in industry. This study aims to compare the glidant effect of hydrophobic and hydrophilic si...
