Abstract
Various crystal forms of sulphathiazole, barbitone and aspirin were compressed in a single-punch tablet machine instrumented to monitor axially applied and radially transmitted forces, and upper punch movement. The changes in radial stress during the compression cycle depended upon the polymorphic form of the compressed material. The results were rationalized in terms of the degree of plastic flow/crushing that occurred with each material, and the degree to which the final compact underwent elastic compression. It is postulated that the reduction in the transition temperature of polymorphic forms of sulphathiazole and barbitone and the polymorphic transition of sulphathiazole Form II was due to the production of dislocations in the crystal and the distortion of the crystals at crystal boundaries formed in the compressed materials.Keywords
