Q

describe wet and heat fusion techniques

A

heat fusion: powders blend dry, with citric monohydrate used; apply heat, water of crystalisation liberated, aids granulation

wet fusion: citric acid moistened, add to sodium carbonate, granulate (cirtric acid fuse powders)

Q

types of disintegrant

A
  • starch
  • microcystalline cellulose
  • sodium starch glycolate
  • modified cellulose gum
  • cross linked polyvinypyrrolidone
17
Q

mechanism of disintegrant action

A
  1. swelling (starch)
  2. wicking - cap action (microcrystalline cellulose)
  3. strain recovery (crospovidone)
  4. interruption of particle-particle bonds (microcrystalline cellulose)
  5. heat of interaction
18
Q

colorant

A
  • added to provide color to tablet
  • often added wet with granulation liquid
  • may be added dry (need more dye)
19
Q

types of colorant

A
  1. dyes (soluble or insoluble pigment types)

2. lakes (contain soluble dye deposited onto carrier particles, usually metallic salts

20
Q

lubricants

A
  1. glidants: improve flow properties of granules/ powders by reducing friction between particles (ball bearing effect)
  2. lubricants: reduce friction between granulation and die-wall during compaction
21
Q

examples of glidants

  • silicates
  • fused silica
  • starch
  • talc

25
Q

stress of compaction forces

A

the applied force to produce a deformation

26

A

ability of material to undergo volume reduction when subjected to an applied pressure

A

Ability of material to produce tablets with sufficient strength under the effect of densification

31
Q

mechanical strength of tablets depends on

A
  1. particle size, distribution, shape
  2. granule porosity
  3. moisture content
  4. fragmentation and visco elastic deformation

  • decrease ejection path in the die
  • tool design change
  • extend dwell time
35
Q

dfference in plastic and brittle material

A

plastic: under compressive forces will deform irreversibly
brittle: under compressie forces will deform by breaking down into small fragments

36
Q

why continuous manufacturing

A
  1. cost efficient
  2. efficient and robust process development
  3. improved product quality
  4. flexible
