Abstract

Methodology for constructing composite particles from ingredients comprising two or more particulate components. The resultant particles are usefully incorporated into powder coating compositions. The approach also finds utility in other applications, including but not limited to the food, drug, and cosmetics industry. Fluidized particles are subjected to an intense, but relatively brief heating event. This causes associated particles to fusingly assemble into fused composite clusters.
