Organic crystals, although widely studied, have not been considered nascent candidate
materials in engineering design. Here we summarize the mechanical properties of organic …

Crystal adaptronics is an emergent materials science discipline at the intersection of solid‐
state chemistry and mechanical engineering that explores the dynamic nature of …

In this paper, two types of parameters representing tabletability and compactibility profiles of
a series of α-lactose monohydrate powders, ranging in particle size from approximately 3.5 …

Molecular crystal structures, thermodynamics, and mechanical properties can vary
substantially with temperature, and predicting these temperature-dependencies correctly is …

The mechanical properties of crystalline materials can have an impact on different aspects of
solid dosage form design and manufacturing. Experimental determination of these quantities …

This review article summarizes the recent advances in measuring and understanding the
indentation-induced plastic deformation and fracture behavior of single crystals of a wide …

Sažetak Nanoindentation allows quantitative determination of a material's response to stress
such as elastic and plastic deformation or fracture tendency. Key instruments that have …

Despite being heavily criticised in the literature the most widely used and accepted
compaction equation is the Heckel equation proposed by Heckel in 1961. Its presence in …

The deformation behaviour of a powder and, thus, of the individual particles is a crucial
parameter in powder compaction and affects powder compressibility and compactibility. The …
