Rheology and Deformation of Solids – Summary

This unit focuses on rheology, the study of the flow and deformation of matter, which plays a vital role in pharmaceutical formulation and processing. It begins with Newtonian systems, where the flow behavior follows Newton’s law of flow, and the viscosity remains constant regardless of shear rate. The concept of kinematic viscosity and the effect of temperature on viscosity are also explained, highlighting how increased temperature generally reduces viscosity.

The unit then transitions into non-Newtonian systems, which do not follow Newton’s law. These include pseudoplastic (shear-thinning), dilatant (shear-thickening), and plastic flow behaviors. Thixotropy, a time-dependent reversible decrease in viscosity under shear stress, is explored with relevance to pharmaceutical formulations such as gels and suspensions.

Furthermore, the unit details the methods for determining viscosity, including capillary viscometers, falling sphere viscometers, and rotational viscometers, each suitable for specific types of fluids.

The second part covers the deformation of solids, differentiating between plastic and elastic deformation. It introduces the Heckel equation to analyze powder compaction and explains mechanical concepts such as stress, strain, and elastic modulus, essential for understanding tablet formation and mechanical properties of dosage forms.

This unit provides a comprehensive understanding of stereochemistry, vital for advanced studies in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry.
