Fine powders and granular materials are extensively employed in industrial applications. These materials have to be properly characterized to control and to improve the processing techniques. The ...

A number of parameters are critical for optimal performance during an extrusion process. For example, the applied screw speed, the screw configuration, and the thermo-mechanical energy input from the ...

Powders are widely used in pharmaceuticals as active ingredients or excipients in formulations. As a result, several production processes are used for handling powders: wet and dry granulation, ...

Cefaclor is a β-lactam cephalosporin antibiotic that has a wide particle size distribution. Because of the nonporous nature of the material, the specific surface area value accounts for a significant ...

There are a number of different steps involved in the tableting process of pharmaceutical powders. The most important of these is of course the filling of the die, and the compaction of the powder. It ...

The authors investigated the tableting properties of PanExcea MHC300G, a high-performance excipient. Direct compression (DC) is a preferred manufacturing process as the continually modernizing ...
