About this title

Synopsis

This volume is a companion to "Pharmaceutical Technology - Tableting Technology, Volume 1", edited by Professor M.H. Rubinstein. James Wells, a leading pharmaceutical scientist, has taken joint responsibility for this volume. Dealing exlusively with compression technology, it reflects the continued "popularity" of the tablet as a drug form: and thereby the need to refine and enhance the pharmaceutical industry's knowledge of compression. The first section from a well known group of grench authors, deals in detail with the science and practice of double compression, including slugging and roller compaction and its effects on tablet visco-elasticity. This is followed by a valuable and extensive treatise on lubrication, including the work undertaken by Professor Rubinstein's Compaction Simulator Group on the re-evaluation of machine compression profiles and machine design. A final section covers a diverse range of developments including tablet binding capacity, power capacitance, and porosimetry using mercury intrusion.
