The role of mechanical properties in DPI carriers

Introduction Aerodynamic performance of interactive blends depends on mixing time/energy Leading hypothesis assumes the effect of so called press-on-forces (i.e deformation of particles during mixing) Mechanical properties of particles should predict the behaviour of fine particle fraction (FPF) with respect to mixing time if the…

Excipients by function

In addition to the different origins and roles for the formulation of a drug product excipients can differentiated by their function. The major groups of excipients by function are: Anti-Foaming Agents / Defoamer Antioxidants Binders Coatings Colorants / Colors…
