The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for dry particle coating of cohesive powders, and to the dry coated particles/powders produced thereby. The present disclosure is further directed to systems and methods for dry coating of cohesive particles, particularly nanosized particles, to provide enhanced flowability and other advantageous physical and/or functional properties. The disclosed systems and methods offer downstream processing advantages, e.g., for purposes of subsequent fluidization, coating, granulation and/or other particle processing operations, and have applicability in wide ranging industries, including specifically paint-related applications, pharmaceutical applications, food-related applications, cosmetic applications, defense-related applications, electronics-related applications, toner and ink-related applications, and the like.
