Zusatztext "The book contains 22 chapters and covers a very wide range of topics. With a few exceptions! these contributions are from leaders in the field of drug delivery. The ideas and results presented are all extremely creative and interesting. This reviewer would recommend this book as it presents a broad selection of some very interesting directions that polymer drug delivery will be taking in the near future."-Lisa Brannon-Peppas! PhD! The Department of Biomedical Engineering! The University of Texas at Austin Informationen zum Autor Cherng-ju Kim Klappentext Discussing a comprehensive range of topics, Advanced Pharmaceutics: Physicochemical Principles reviews all aspects of physical pharmacy. The book explains the basic, mechanistic, and quantitative interpretation skills needed to solve physical pharmacy related problems. The author supplies a strong fundamental background and extensively covers thermodynamics, ionic equilibria, solutions and distribution, surface chemistry and colloids, kinetics, diffusion, and polymer science. He outlines the latest research on diffusion through a membrane and the use of polymers in dosage forms.Packed with formulae and models, the book demonstrates the development of each and then describes the use of those models for a variety of formulation situations. The author's detailed explanation of the evolution of the formulae provides a clear understanding of when and how they are used. This bottom-up approach delineates the evolution of the formulae and gives a clear understanding of when and how they should be used. The book provides an in-depth review and analysis of dosage form design criteria that you can rapidly implement in your day-to-day work.
