Effects of Shear and Electrical Properties on Flow Characteristics of Pharmaceutical Blends
Contributor(s):: Pingali, KC, Tomassone, MS, Muzzio, FJ
This article examines the effects and interactions of shear rate, shear strain on electrical and flow properties of pharmaceutical blends. An unexpectedly strong relation between the flow and passive electrical properties of powders is observed to depend on the shear history of the powder bed....
