Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is one of the latest and most sensational developments in manufacturing since the industrial revolution. The technique is mainly based upon ‘layer-by-layer ...

Powder is a collection of single solid particles, which in most cases may be considered a basic unit. Powder is typically comprised of solid particles, interparticle voids, as well as open and closed ...

A significant parameter to explore the compressibility and flowability of pharmaceutical powders, tapped density, is extremely useful for promoting the approach of QbD and GMPs. Therefore, ...

The authors experiment with a resonant acoustic mixer as a method for dry powder coating. Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive ...

Powders are widely used in pharmaceuticals as active ingredients or excipients in formulations. As a result, several production processes are used for handling powders: wet and dry granulation, ...

This article considers the different conditions to which the powder is subjected in the tableting process, and discusses which powder properties should be measured to accurately reflect likely powder ...
