Particle Engineering of Chitosan and Kaolin Composite as a Novel Tablet Excipient by Nanoparticles Formation and Co-Processing

Chitosan is not a common excipient for direct compression due to poor flowability and inadequate compressibility. Co-processing of chitosan and kaolin is a challenging method to overcome the limitations of the individual excipients. The purpose of the present study was to develop co-processed chitos...
