Oral Excipients

Abstract Tabletability is an outcome of interparticulate bonding area (BA) – bonding strength (BS) interplay, influenced by the mechanical properties, size and shape, surface energetics of the constituent particles, and compaction pressure. Typically, a more plastic active pharmaceutical…
