The authors investigate the tablet-coating process using a combination of different simulation techniques. Drum coaters are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce film-coated tablets.

Effective design of the tablet core and the coating process can help prevent film coating problems. Film coatings on pharmaceutical tablets provide a broad range of functionalities, and the coating ...

Tablets were first developed in the mid-1850s, during which sugar coating (SC) was primarily used to improve their surface characteristics and protect pharmaceutical agents from the harsh environment ...

SEMs are capable of imaging many different sample types including semiconductors, metals and alloys, polymers, ceramics and biological samples. Some samples can be more difficult to image and must be ...
