Comparative analyses/evaluation of the textural properties of naproxen sodium tablets and powders prepared using microwave and other drying techniques

This study aimed to explore the correlation between the textural characteristics of the tablets and their respective powders for different drying methods. Although the morphologies of the dry particles were irregular, the prepared tablets were smooth and flat with few cracks. Drying increased the amorphous nature of the granules but decreased their crystallinity. The crystallinities of all tablets, except those prepared by VD, decreased after compression. In summary, the characteristics of the prepared tablets were acquired from their respective powders.Graphical abstract
