Characterization
of powders and granules typically involves analysis and quantification of
physicochemical properties that are of significance to their proposed use.
These properties can be identified as particle or bulk properties.
·
Particle properties refer to the properties or
characteristics of indi-vidual particles, such as their size, hardness, and
porosity.
·
Bulk properties refer to the properties or behavior of a
collection of particles, such as flow and bulk density (BD).
Characterization
of pharmaceutical powders involves analysis and quanti-fication of both
particle and bulk properties.
