Capping as well as lamination are two common problems, which affect the resulting product quality of the tablet. Usually, capping and lamination occur during or after tablet manufacturing, and may therefore influence follow-up processes such as the coating. In this context, there is an urgent need for approaches to overcome the occurrences of capping and lamination. In the present study, a novel lower punch vibration technique was used to decrease the capping or lamination tendency of different powder formulations. Different microcrystalline cellulose types, as well as an API (acetaminophen), were selected as model powders. The powders were investigated regarding their powder flow, density, particle morphology, and surface area. Moreover, the manufactured tablets were characterized regarding their tablet weight, tensile strength, and capping or lamination indices. It was shown that the capping or lamination tendency was strongly affected by the physical powder properties, the formulation composition, and the adjusted turret speed. In addition, the application of externally applied lower punch vibration led to a pronounced decrease of the capping or lamination tendency and improved mechanical stability of the manufactured tablets.

- - The Crawford Lake site in Ontario is proposed as a Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) to mark the beginning of the Anthropocene epoch at 1950 CE, based on annual layers of sediment that reflect both global and local environmental changes.
- - Evidence of increased fossil fuel combustion and nuclear testing in the early 1950s is captured through changes in sediment composition, including spheroidal carbonaceous particles and nitrogen isotopes, alongside a notable drop in elm pollen linked to Dutch Elm disease.

In the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, real-time in situ quality monitoring for detecting defects at an early stage is a desirable ability, especially in high-rate production, to minimize downstream quality-related issues, financial losses, and timeline risks. In this study, we focus on the early detection of crack formation in compressed oral solid dosage (OSD) forms at its onset before complete delamination and/or capping in downstream processing. The detection of internal tablet cracks related to local micro-stress/strain states, internal granularity (texture), and micro-structure failures is rather unlikely by traditional testing methods, such as the USP reference standards for friability, fracturing, or hardness testing.

In the pharmaceutical industry, tablets are manufactured using rotary tableting machines. Recently, die wall pressure in a single-punch press was measured to understand the compaction mechanism and predict tableting failure. However, die wall pressure measurements in rotary tableting machines have not been studied.

The ordered coassembly of mixed-dimensional species-such as zero-dimensional (0D) nanocrystals and 2D microscale nanosheets-is commonly deemed impracticable, as phase separation almost invariably occurs. Here, by manipulating the ligand grafting density, we achieve ordered coassembly of 0D nanocrystals and 2D nanosheets under standard solvent evaporation conditions, resulting in macroscopic, freestanding hybrid-dimensional superlattices with both out-of-plane and in-plane order. The key to suppressing the notorious phase separation lies in hydrophobizing nanosheets with molecular ligands identical to those of nanocrystals but having substantially lower grafting density.
