Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...
The authors examine the influence of glass-transition temperature, melt viscosity, degradation temperature, and process settings. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology is prominent in the pharmaceutical ...
The authors conducted an experiment to determine the type of extrusion that provides the best productivity and pellet quality. This article contains online bonus material. Multiparticulate oral dosage ...
