Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Student: Hana Janoutová Title of Thesis: Evaluation of tensile strength of tablets containing theophylline The aim of this thesis was to determine tensile strength of tablets containing theophylline. Tensile strength was studied as a function of the composition of mixtures of the used fillers and especially on their ratio. In the theoretical part, the used materials - lactose SpheroLac 100, microcrystalline cellulose Comprecel 102, dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate Di-Cafos D160, anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate Di-Cafos A150, theophylline and magnesium stearate are described. This work also evaluates force-displacement record, tensile strength and various factors that affect tensile strength. Parameters of force-displacement record and tensile strength of the tablets compressed with compresssion force 10 kN were evaluated in the experimental part. The measured results show that higher values of precompression energy (E1) and energy of plastic deformation (E2) were detected in mixtures A, C and E which contain Comprecel 102, and the lowest values were detected in mixtures B which contain Sphero-Lac 100 and Di-Cafos D160. Values of energy...
