A model particle system of alumina (host particle) and polystyrene (guest particle) is processed using mechano-fusion. Samples from three experiments with different process parameters (rotational speed and process time) are characterized concerning the resulting coating structures of guest particles on the surface of the host particle. Therefore, particle samples are prepared for a qualitative SEM analysis and quantiative micro-CT analysis. From the 3D micro-CT data, the structural descriptors coating thickness, coating efficiency and neighbooring behavior of the guest particles are quantified. The influence of the process parameters on the coating structures is discussed.

This collection is open access and publicly accessible.
