Investigations on the compaction mechanisms of pharmaceutical substanc
es using an evaluation method for force-time curves of a rotary tablet
machine are presented. The machine speed is shown to have only little
influence on the compaction behavior. Looking at the compression forc
e, not only a quantification of plastic or brittle deformation behavio
r as well as a detection of elastic relaxation is presented but also a
description of the disposition to porosity reduction.
