Effect of additives and operating conditions on tablet weight variation: Analysis based on powder…
Abstract
The flowability and compressibility of powders during tableting are crucial for determining the quality of pharmaceutical products. Although silicon compounds are additives that improve compressibility, their type and addition ratio could impair flowability. Therefore, formulation and…

Comparing continuous micromixing and extrusion downsizing for PEGylated nanoliposomes remotely…
Abstract
Since the FDA approval of the first nanodrug Doxil® in 1995, twenty subsequent liposome-and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) based drugs (of which 10 are nanodrugs), were approved by the FDA. The application of such drug-products was considerably boosted by the mRNA-LNP based vaccines used to stop…

Research on the influences of binders on high shear wet granulation and tablet quality
The effect of binder types on the granule properties and tablet quality for high shear wet granulation and tableting (HSWG-T) was studied. Furthermore, attribute correlation was established by multivariate models based on a systematical study of the binder’s properties, wetting mass’s physical…

Mixing efficiency of pharmaceutical powders in an intensive mixer with rotating mixing vessel
The mixing of ductile lubricant particles is known to have several negative effects on tablet properties, such as decreased hardness and delayed disintegration. This study investigated the usefulness of a mixing system using an intensive mixer with a rotating mixing vessel (EIRICH Intensive Mixer)…

Optimizing Continuous Feeding of Poorly Flowing Excipients: Impact of Batch-To-Batch Variability and…
Purpose
Understanding batch-to-batch variation of excipients and correlating this to process performance is a key concept of Quality-by-Design for pharmaceutical product development. In this study, the effect of batch-to-batch variation in material properties of milled lactose monohydrate on…

Scale-independent solid fraction prediction in dry granulation process using a gray-box model…
Abstract
We propose a novel approach for predicting the solid fraction after roller compaction processes. It is crucial to predict and control the solid fraction, as it has a significant impact on the product quality. The solid fraction can be theoretically predicted by a first-principles model…
