Twin-Screw Melt Granulation with PEG 8000: effect of binder particle size and processing temperature…
Introduction
High-drug-loaded tablets and capsules are desirable and are manufactured using granulation as an additional step. Replacing batch wet granulation with twin-screw melt extruder as a continuous solventless process is gaining popularity. PEG 8000 being one of the most popular…

The Effect of Microcrystalline Cellulose–CaHPO4 Mixtures in Different Volume Ratios on the…
Abstract
Using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with plastic behaviour and calcium phosphate anhydrous (CaHPO4) with brittle behaviour under compaction is very popular in the pharmaceutical industry for achieving desirable structural–mechanical properties of tablet formulations. Thus, mixtures of…

Hydroxyapatite and pore former effects on the microstructure and mechanical strength of porous…
Porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) pellets were prepared by extrusion/spheronization/sintering and loaded with Lactobacillus (La-5). Micronized (PFm) or coarse size (PFc) microcrystalline cellulose were the pore formers, while HAP grades from Budenheim (Tri-cafos®) and Sigma-Aldrich with different specific…

Using AI/ML to predict blending performance and process sensitivity for Continuous Direct…
Utilising three artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) tools, this study explores the prediction of fill level in inclined linear blenders at steady state by mapping a wide range of bulk powder characteristics to processing parameters. Predicting fill levels enables the calculation of…

PVA as binder in continuous twin-screw granulation
Introduction
Granulation of powder blends is a commonly applied technique for pharmaceutical formulations which have no suitable flowability or compactability or are inhomogeneous with regards to the API content. Mainly wet granulation is applied3 and here, especially continuous twin-screw…

Exploring Environmental Settings to Improve the Printability of Paroxetine-Loaded Filaments by Fused…
The successful integration of hot-melt extrusion (HME) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) depends on a better understanding of the impact of environmental conditions on the printability of formulations, since they significantly affect the properties of the raw materials, whose control is crucial…

Electrospun metal–organic frameworks-loaded nanofibrous carriers for drug delivery systems
Nanotechnology-based-drug-delivery processes are widely applicable for specific drug release. Various pharmaceutical carriers, such as polymeric nano-carriers (solid lipid nanoparticles, micelles, nano-gels/hydrogels, dendrimers, polymeric nano-shapes), vesicular carriers (liposome, noisome),…

Effect of Compaction Pressure on the Enzymatic Activity of Pancreatin in Directly Compressible…
Tableting of biomolecules is a challenging formulation phase due to their sensitivity to various process parameters, such as compression pressure, process dynamics, or the temperature generated. In the present study, pancreatin was employed as a model enzyme mixture, which was formulated in tablet…

Simulation of roller compaction by combination of a compaction simulator and oscillating mill – A…
This study investigates the feasibility of a compaction simulator and oscillating mill to mimic a roller compactor as a material sparing approach for process development. Microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate were selected to represent soft and hard materials, respectively.…
