Force-displacement measurements in tableting

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1985
Abstract The influence of particle interaction, i.e. friction and bonding, on the net work (NETW) during compaction and on Heckel plots was tested by varying the particle size, the lubrication or the moisture content. The NETW was found to be significantly affected by particle interaction. The yield pressure, calculated from Heckel plots,
