THE USE OF THE HARCOURT AND ESSON RELATIONSHIP IN INTERPRETING THE KINETICS OF RISING TEMPERATURE SOLID-STATE DECOMPOSITIONS AND ITS APPLICATION TO PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS
D. Dollimore et al., THE USE OF THE HARCOURT AND ESSON RELATIONSHIP IN INTERPRETING THE KINETICS OF RISING TEMPERATURE SOLID-STATE DECOMPOSITIONS AND ITS APPLICATION TO PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS, Thermochimica acta, 290(1), 1997, pp. 73-83
A new approach to establishing kinetic parameters for solid state deco
mpositions is outlined based on the equation of Harcourt and Esson. It
enables the integral method to be used without the need to make appro
ximations. It is applied here to a study of certain pharmaceutical exc
ipients used in the formulation of tablets.
