Abstract

This collection of studies examines diverse aspects of powder compaction, focusing on pharmaceutical, metallic, ceramic, polymer, and energetic materials. Investigations cover the impact of binder types, compaction pressures, particle size, moisture content, and inter-particle forces on material properties such as mechanical strength, density, and microstructure. The research also addresses advanced compaction techniques, sustainability considerations, and the optimization of processes for high-dose formulations and safety-critical applications. Key themes include enhancing product quality, minimizing defects, and improving process efficiency and environmental impact.
