Topical I: Pharmaceutical Engineering for the 21^st Century (TI)

#277 - Agglomeration And Granulation Processes (TI013)
This session is dedicated to the subject of the mechanics of slightly wet powders as they are sheared in a mixer-type device. The operations include layering, encapsulation, granulation and break-up of particles and agglomerates. Experimental and theoretical presentations from both academia and industry are invited.
Chair:Paul Mort
CoChair:Gabriel I. Tardos
