Influence of mesh pans on bounce properties of poly-olphe-methycstyrene microspheres

In this paper, mesh pans for coating poly-olphe-methycstyrene(PAMS) microspheres with polymer are designed. The difference between bounces on a mesh pan and a glass pan is evaluated. The capability of mesh pans for bouncing PAMS microspheres is examined. The effect of the related parameters of the mesh pans on the surface roughness of the microshells has been explored. The experimental results show that the mesh pans improve significantly the bounce of PAMS microspheres in comparison with glass pans. In order to improve the surface roughness of microspheres, an intermittent vibration mode must be applied on the mesh pans for bouncing the microsphere．
