A material-sparing simplified buoyancy method for determining the true density of solids.
International journal of pharmaceutics(2023)
摘要
True density is an important physical property of powdered materials, especially in the context of powder compaction. Currently available methods for true density determination either require a significant amount of materials or are laborious. Hence, a material-sparing and efficient method for true density determination is of value. In this work, we detail a simplified buoyancy-based method capable of fast determination of true density with accuracy comparable to helium pycnometry. This miniaturized method only uses a few milligrams of a powder with data collection process expedited by centrifugation in a laboratory centrifuge. This method can be easily adapted in a laboratory since determination of true density only requires a balance, a micropipette, a laboratory centrifuge, and standard stock liquids of low and high densities. Hence, it is a useful addition to the materials characterization tool kit critical for pharmaceutical formulation development.
