Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of: Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Mgr. Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Nikola Marcinková Title of Thesis: The influence of the die size on the compaction process This diploma thesis is focused on exploration the influence of the die size on the compaction process. That was evaluated by parameters of three-exponential equation. Compressibility was studied by using force-displacement record. In this work was also observed an effect of die size on the tensile strength. In processing the experimental part of this work were used four different model materials. Microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate are used as model fillers and theophylline and paracetamol as model active substances. Compaction of these materials was carried out in dies of size 7 mm, 9 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm and 15 mm. The results of the work showed that the die size significantly affects all parameters force-displacement record. With the growing size of the die there was a reduction of energy parameters. Most of the compaction parameters were statistically influenced. Increasing die size caused reducing volume reduction and energy consumption and increased speed of volume reduction at the stage of pre- compression and elastic...

Mařanová, Lucie ; Řehula, Milan (advisor) ; Ondrejček, Pavel (referee)
Evaluation of the tableting mixtures containing the paracetamolum by the parameters of the equation of compression The diploma thesis deals with effect of paracetamol on the parameters of compression equation. These parameters characterize compression process in the individual phases of compression: precompression phase, phase of elastic deformation and phase of plastic deformation. Paracetamolum was studied in the five mixtures, where it occurred in different ratio with microcrystalline cellulose. Looseness, Carr's index and Hausner ratio were evaluated for each mixture. The sizes of reductions ai, sizes of energies Ei and Ri, "half-pressures" pHi and the velocity constants 1/ti were calculated using three-exponential equation of compression for the individual phases of pressing. The results showed poor flow properties of tableting mixtures and thus its unsuitability for direct compression. The results of the study have revealed that increasing amounts of paracetamolum in the mixture increase reduction of volume a1 and velocity of volume change 1/t1 in dependence on the amount of the extruded air and decrease the required energy due to the smooth surface and less friction during the precompression phase. Reduction of volume a2 decrease with the increase of content of paracetamol due to...

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Mgr. Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Tomáš Marcinek Title of Thesis: The influence of the tableting speed on the compaction process The main aim of this thesis was to determine the influence of tableting speed on the compaction process of four substances. The compaction process was evaluated by three- exponential equation. The parameters of this equation describe the individual phases of compression, the precompression phase, the phase of elastic deformation and the phase of plastic deformation. Furthermore, the effect of tableting speed on the compressibility of the material was studied using the force-displacement record. Finally, the influence of tableting speed on tensile strength of the prepared tablets was evaluated. Four materials were used for the evaluation. Microcrystalline cellulose Avicel PH-102 and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate DI-CAFOS were used as model fillers. Theophylline and paracetamol were used as model drugs. The course of the compaction process was evaluated at five compaction speeds. The results of this evaluation revealed different behavior of used materials. Furthermore different influence on the compaction process by changing compaction speed was...

Trpělková, Žofie ; Ondrejček, Pavel (advisor) ; Holas, Ondřej (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Mgr. Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Žofie Trpělková Title: A study of a compaction process of microcrystalline cellulose pellets This work is aimed at the comparison of two types of microcrystalline cellulose (Comprecel 102 a Avicel PH-200) with two types of pellets made of microcrystalline cellulose (Cellets 100 a Cellets 200). Important properties for the compaction into tablets were analyzed in these materials. The particle size distribution, the content of moisture, the bulk and tapped density, the flowability, the angle of repose and the Hausner ratio were evaluated. Furthermore, the compaction process was described by using the force displacement method and the three-exponential equation. Finally, the radial strength and the friability of tablets prepared by using two different compaction forces were evaluated. The results proved that both types of pellets have much better flow properties than powdered microcrystalline celluloses. This is primarily caused by the narrow particle size distribution, higher bulk and tapped density and the significantly smoother surface of pellets. Better flow properties of the pellets also influenced the parameters of the force-displacement...

Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Simona Berková Title of Thesis: The evaluation of compressibility of the mixtures pellets and microcrystalline cellulose This thesis is focused on the evaluation of powdered microcrystalline cellulose, pellets and mixtures thereof. Comprecel 102 was used as powdered microcrystalline cellulose. The used pellets were commercially available pellets Cellets 100 made of microcrystalline cellulose. The flow properties of used materials and their mixtures were evaluated by using the angle of repose, flow through orifice and Hausner ratio methods. Further the compressibility was evaluated using the force-displacement record. For the evaluation of compaction proces the three exponential compaction was used. Finally the radial tablet strength and tablet friability was tested. The results showed, that the flow properties improved with an increasing amount of pellets in mixture. I tis due to higher bulk and tapped density and also narrower particle size distribution, smoother surface and the regular shape of used pellets. The parameters of the force-displacement method showed different compressibility of used tabletting mixtures. The evaluation of...
