To ensure consistent and reproducible disintegration and dispersion profiles, the compaction of powder constituents, both active ingredient and excipients, is thoroughly examined. This second edition of Pharmaceutical Powder Compaction Technology, revised to reflect modern pharmaceutical compacting techniques, serves as a valuable guide for pharmaceutical engineers, formulation scientists, and product development and quality assurance personnel.

The physical structure of pharmaceutical compacts is explored in detail, shedding light on bonding phenomena that occur during the compaction process. Compression mechanisms of pharmaceutical particles are also examined, providing insights into the forces at play. Theories and fundamental principles of powder compaction are covered, laying the foundation for understanding the compaction process.

In addition to these core topics, this unique reference delves into new areas such as compaction data analysis techniques, the migration of powder constituents into commercial manufacture, instrumentation for compaction, compaction functionality testing, design space for compaction, metrics required for scalability in tablet compression, and an interactive compaction and preformulation database for commonly used excipients.

By providing comprehensive coverage of these topics, Pharmaceutical Powder Compaction Technology equips professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to optimize the compaction formulation process and ensure the quality and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. Whether you are a seasoned pharmaceutical engineer or a newcomer to the field, this book is an essential resource for advancing your understanding of powder compaction technology and its applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
