Powder compaction is the cornerstone of tablet and solid‐dose manufacture, transforming loose particulate blends into coherent dosage forms through the application of pressure. During compaction, ...

The uses of rheology are spreading beyond their traditional scope in mechanical engineering. Powder tribology, in particular, is increasingly being used in pharmaceutical formulation. How do powders ...

Powder tribology offers a way to understand particle interactions at their contact points, capturing both interparticle friction and surface adhesion. These interactions have been studied in ...

Several challenges may be presented when processing powder blends: the blend may be prone to segregation, the creation of agglomerates may influence homogeneity, or component powders may poorly flow ...

Metal powders are used to produce a variety of industrial parts and products. A number of techniques are used to manufacture parts from metal powders, with two popular techniques being sintering and ...
