Pharmaceutical Powder Compaction Technology

Více o knize

Compaction of powder constituents--both active ingredient and excipients--is examined to ensure consistent and reproducible disintegration and dispersion profiles. Revised to reflect modern pharmaceutical compacting techniques, this second edition of <b>Pharmaceutical Powder Compaction Technology</b> guides pharmaceutical engineers, formulation scientists, and product development and quality assurance personnel through the compaction formulation process and application. This unique reference covers: The physical structure of pharmaceutical compacts Bonding phenomena that occur during powder compaction Compression mechanisms of pharmaceutical particles Theories and basic principles of powder compaction New topics include: Compaction data analysis techniques The migration of powder constituents into commercial manufacture Instrumentation for compaction Compaction functionality testing, which is likely to become a USP requirement Design space for compaction Metrics required for scalability in tablet compression Interactive compaction and preformulation database for commonly used excipients
