Drug loading mechanism of hollow hydroxyapatite microcapsules
Abstract
Inorganic hydroxyapatite microcapsules are innovative drug delivery devices tailored for oral drug delivery. They were designed as novel excipients, the so-called template inverted particles (TIP), to assist in preparing the orally disintegrating tablets. This study characterized the drug…

Predicting the tabletability of binary powder mixtures from that of individual components
Abstract
Predicting the tabletability, i.e., the relationship between tensile strength and compaction pressure, of powder mixtures based on that of pure materials would streamline tablet formulation development, saving both time and materials. This would be a significant step toward achieving…

Influence of material and process parameters on the correction factor Kp in roller compaction…
Abstract
It is widely believed that compaction simulators can replicate the uniaxial compression process of a roller compactor. The correction factor (Kp) is a parameter used to adjust a mathematical model for compaction simulation to obtain the same product relative density, therefore accounting…
