Tribo-electrification and Powder Adhesion Studies in the Development of Polymeric Hydrophilic Drug Matrices

The generation of tribo-electric charge during pharmaceutical powder processing can cause a range of complications, including segregation of components leading to content uniformity and particle surface adhesion. This phenomenon becomes problematical when excipients are introduced to a powder mixtur...
