Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate as a replacement for titanium dioxide in coating: the importance of particle…
Uniform colored and white coatings applied to tablets create a homogeneous appearance across batches, improving aesthetics and patient compliance. Titanium dioxide is used extensively in solid dosage forms for this purpose, serving as an opacifier and colorant. Due to its high refractive index, it…

Biochar as a processing additive in poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)
Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a promising alternative to non-biodegradable plastics in agricultural applications. However, it is usually blended with other materials to find a balance of strength, cost, and iodegradability. There is a need to understand the role of additives and…
