Comparison between twin-screw and high-shear granulation – The effect of filler and active…
Highlights
• Twin-screw granulation was less sensitive for liquid amount used.
• API compaction properties had only minor effect on the tablet tensile strength.
• Tablets made of TSG granules had a higher tensile strength than HSG tablets.
• Twin-screw granulation is a good…
