A quantitative “Round Neck” (RN) model based upon volume balances and considerations of surface tension phenomena is proposed for simulation of coalescence of two spherical polymeric particles; during sintering. This model and an early model developed by Frenkel are compared and evaluated against experimental data to show their suitability to simulate geometrical variations of a particle pair during sintering.
