Abstract
Optical surface roughness of starch acetate compacts was investigated by sp ecular reflection of a laser beam as a function of angle of incidence. The intensity data was fitted using the model of Gaussian and Lorentzian curves to solve numerical values for optical surface roughness which was observed to be order of 1 mu m with the present samples.
