Compactability Flashcards
Compression
Pressure is applied forcing particles into close proximity reducing porosity and volume
Porosity
having holes in its structure
Compressibility
the amenability of a substance to compression
Compaction
When pressure is applied Particles causing them to cohere to form a solid of a specific shape
Compatibility
Susceptibility to compaction
Densification
Increasing the Density of something
Elastic deformation of shape
Densification of a product due to compression however once force is removed, the product returns to its original shape
Examples of compounds that undergo elastic deformation of shape
Acetyl salicylic and starch
What are the two types of particle deformation
elastic deformation of shape and plastic deformation of shape
Plastic deformation of shape
Force and heat is applied to a product permanently altering its shape. Occurs due to molecules slide over each other. Occurs once the elastic limit has been reached
Examples of compounds that undergo plastic deformation of shape
Sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate
What does the compression force determine
Tablet volume , porosity, density and tensile strength
What does the compression force determine
Tablet volume , porosity, density and tensile strength
What is responsible for the the 1st phase of the particle deformation graph
particle rearrangement and fragmentation
What is responsible for the the 2nd phase of the particle deformation graph
Elastic and plastic deformation of shape
