This allows for the rapid capture of internal structures in evolving phenomena. This technique, called "dynamic computed tomography," was used in this study to monitor the mixing of pharmaceutical powders with water droplets.</p> </div> </div> <div class="kudos-box kudos-box-with-avatar"> <h3> Why is it important? </h3> <div class="wrap-words"> <p class="preserve-line-breaks">In the past, the mixing of pharmaceutical powders with liquid was limited to external observations. This study demonstrated the use of synchrotron radiation to observe how pharmaceutical powders coalesced into a granule, and the development of the granule's internal porosity. It revealed individual pores becoming networks and how different conditions would influence how such pores formed. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of how these internal pores form can contribute to understanding how pharmaceutical products perform. Not only was this study the first to use the full capacity of dynamic computed tomography to observe and measure changes in pharmaceutical granule formation, but also serves as a guide to using this technique for similar fast occurring phenomenon.</p> </div> </div> <div class="kudos-widget-article-readmore-btn-container"> <a class="btn btn-md btn-block blue-background" target="_blank" href="https://www.growkudos.com/articles/10.1107/s1600577523000826?utm_medium=widget&utm_source=publication-widget">Read more on Kudos…</a> </div> <div class="with-bottom-small-margin"> <div class="inline-block"> The following have contributed to this page: </div> <div class="inline-block"> Xiao Fan Ding </div> </div> </div></div>' ,"url"));
