coating adhesion

Background

A novel test method is demonstrated that uses a small metal plate that is placed on a tablet and then coated with a polymer film to measure the adhesion of the coating to the tablet. Clear difference are seen between three products with good repeatability. This method will allow formulators to explore the functionality of tablet coatings.
