Synopsis

This extensive reference/text explores the principles, instrumentation, processes, and programs of pharmaceutical solid science as well as new aspects on one-component systems, micromeritics, polymorphism, solid-state stability, cohesion, powder flow, blending, single- unit sustained release, and tablet coating.
Reveals unique approaches in pharmaceutical solid science not previously published in any other text!
Providing current data on crystallization, dissolution from particles and polydisperse populations, powder volumes and densities, comminution, wet granulation, and hard-shell capsules, Advanced Pharmaceutical Solids

describes moisture isotherms with crystalline solids

documents the effects of moisture on solid-state stability

highlights tablet physics and principles

explains sustained release by microencapsulation

presents prediction equations for solubility in binary solvents

discusses particle sizes and diameters

identifies Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller Isotherms

and more!
Considering properties of solids, permeamitry and gas absorption methods, amorphates, and purification by pH-change precipitation, Advanced Pharmaceutical Solids is an essential reference for pharmacists; pharmaceutical scientists; medicinal, physical, surface, colloid, and analytical chemists and biochemists; and an effective text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

About this title

Review:

...a comprehensive overview.
-Pharma Times

...would find good use as a textbook in a graduate level course on pharmaceutical solids...equally valuable as an information source for anyone seeking a brief overview of a particular area.
-Pharmaceutical Development Technology

...deserves a place on the bookshelves of any pharmaceutical scientist working on the development of solid dosage forms....
