Application of instrumented nanoindentation in preformulation studies of pharmaceutical active ingredients and excipients
Nanoindentation allows quantitative determination of a material’s response to stress such as elastic and plastic deformation or fracture tendency. Key instruments that have enabled great advances in nanomechanical studies are the instrumented nanoindenter and atomic force microscopy. The versatility...
