In particular, the loose packing of particles promotes an open powder structure that is less adhesive and flows and disperses more readily. There is a strong correlation between the interaction parameters derived by IGC and the in vitro data that play an important role in the prediction of aerosol performance of dry powder inhalation formulations. Enhanced dispersibility is particularly important for DPI devices, where performance strongly depends on powder deaggregation at relatively low dispersion forces. Clearly, high turbulence is preferable for dispersion, but it inevitably leads to high pressure differentials, which may prevent many devices from functioning correctly. In addition, low dispersion forces for supercritically produced...
