✦ Synopsis

The objective of this article was to explore the relationship between mechanical properties of single granules and the evolution in tensile strength and tablet micro-structure. Granules of different expected deformation behavior were used as model materials. It is suggested that the role of plasticity in this context is twofold: firstly, to affect the rate of compactibility and thus the pressure range needed to reach the maximal attained tablet strength and, secondly, to affect the mode of deformation of the granules and thus the maximal attained tablet strength. A decrease in yield pressure of single granules increased the tablet tensile strength at a given compaction pressure. The yield pressure can be controlled by the granule composition and porosity.

This report deals with basic studies concerned with the use of sieving as an accurate means of classifying granular pharmaceutical solids. Attention was focused on the effects of sieve shaker speed, initial load and particle size distribution of the granulation on the rate of particle size reduction

It is well known that compression speed can have significant effects on the compaction properties of pharmaceutical powders. This is a challenge during scale up and technology transfer when tableting speeds are significantly increased. This study examined the effects of tableting speed on the compre
