Fundamentals of Powder Compression • attractive forces exist between particles • van der Waal’s, H-bonding, electrostatic consider a number of granules in a die to which a force is applied CHEE 440
Compression • consider the force transmitted through the powder bed • descending upper punch, stationary lower punch CHEE 440
Force-Volume relationships • at the end of the compression stage the initial porosity has been decreased • need some porosity for disintegration therefore need relation between force applied (FA) and porosity (e) CHEE 440
Heckel Plots CHEE 440
Force-displacement CHEE 440
Role of Moisture CHEE 440
Influence on Bioavailability • compression force affects disintegration time of tablet CHEE 440
