Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of particle size and shape on the angle of internal friction and the flow factor of unlubricated and lubricated powders

TL;DR: In this article, the shear properties of 8 different powders, which varied in particle size and shape, were studied using an annular shear cell, and the angle of internal friction and the flow factor were determined.
Book

Particle-Particle Adhesion in Pharmaceutical Powder Handling

TL;DR: A brief overview of the theory of friction particle adhesion in powder assemblies measuring methods can be found in this article, where the authors also discuss the fundamental physics of particle attachment to surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a standardised procedure to assess the shape of pellets using image analysis.

TL;DR: The influence of threshold definition, number of pellets counted, image magnification and lightning technique on the assessment of pellet shape has been investigated using three batches of pellets and an image analysis system.
Journal ArticleDOI

A shape factor to assess the shape of particles using image analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a shape factor for particles is proposed based on the deviations of the two-dimensional particle outline from standard images of a circle, triangle and square, and considers the particle elongation and the number of characteristic corners of the apparent shape.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors influencing the physical characteristics of pellets obtained by extrusion-spheronization

TL;DR: It can be concluded that the solubility of materials used (both drugs and fillers) plays an important role in the quantity of water required to form satisfactory pellets and on the physical characteristics of pellets.
