While the physical properties of pharmaceutical excipients have been well characterized, impurities that may influence the chemical stability of formulated drug product have not been well studied. In this work, the hydroperoxide (HPO) impurity levels of common pharmaceutical excipients are measured

โฆ Synopsis
The compaction of powders into tablets is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to convert drugs, in the form of small particles, into coherent and robust metered solid dosage forms. In order to produce robust tablets with the required properties, it is essential to understand the elastic, viscoelastic and plastic properties and rupture strength of the feed particles, which can be as small as a few microns in diameter. The objective of this work is to characterise the mechanical properties of single particles using a micromanipulation diametrical compression technique and relate the parameters to the compression behaviour of powders. Mechanical parameters, such as the Young's modulus, hardness and nominal rupture stress, were thus determined for each sample. The bulk compression data of the powders were analysed to calculate the parameters of the

In order to evaluate the mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus and strength, of Dy123 bulk superconductors and those with 10 wt.% Ag 2 O, we performed 3-point bending tests at room (RT) and liquid nitrogen temperatures (LNT) using specimens cut from the bulks. The Young's modulus and the be
