ADVANCED PHARMACEUTICS

Discussing a comprehensive range of topics, this book 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.
