Abstract Using single end compaction in an instrumented cylindrical die, the compaction characteristics of a variety of polymeric powders have been studied. The powders tested range from those which compact very well to those which do not compact at all. Using scanning electron microscopy, the particle size and shape for each powder has been noted and used in conjunction with other physical properties and deformation characteristics to identify the factors which enhance compactability. In general it has been found that a powder with a combination of small particle size, irregular shaped particles and a relatively low bulk modulus is most likely to compact well. As the physical characteristics depart from these desirable conditions the compactability of the powder is reduced.
