| Abstract: | Application of a theory developed for plates that sandwich a liquid layer to spherical particles which undergo liquid phase sintering shows that although the thickness of the liquid layer decreases with time, a finite thickness will always remain between the particles within any experimental time frame as long as the liquid perfectly wets the solid. |
