Flowability is a key consideration during the formulation and process development of oral solid dosage forms as it can have a critical impact on product quality. With a limited number of examples available in the literature, there is a need to better understand and share the typical flow properties…

Granulation, the process of particle enlargement by agglomeration technique, is one of the most significant unit operations in the production of pharmaceutical dosage forms, mostly tablets and capsules. Granulation process transforms fine powders into free-flowing, dust-free granules that are easy…

Abstract Granulation is a size-enlargement process by which small particles are bonded, by means of various techniques, in coherent and stable masses (granules), in which the original particles are still identifiable. In wet granulation processes, the powder particles are aggregated through the use…

The causes of atypical nitrogen adsorption isotherm features of commercial magnesium stearate grades have been investigated through a combination of alternative adsorbates and variation of analytical conditions. Atypical features have previously been identified as having poor linearity of adsorption…
