The pharmaceutical applications of powder technology have long been recognized. "A Guide to Pharmaceutical Particulate Science" discusses key principles of particulate science and their practical applications.
Exploring the growth in knowledge of particle properties and the variety of technological advances in particle manufacture, this book gives readers the tools they need to understand particulate science and its use in the industry. The authors cover particulate material, its form and production, sampling from bodies of powder, particle size descriptors and statistics, behavior of particles, instrumental analysis, particle size measurement and synergy of adopted techniques, physical behavior of a powder, and in vitro and in vivo performance criteria. They draw the components of particulate science into a single concise description of their integration in the context of product development.
"[This book] treats ? various topics ? in a logical sequence. The references are extensive and provide the reader with valuable guidance to the relevant literature, especially in the pharmaceutical sciences. ? [T]his book provides an excellent foundation for a didactic course in particulate science or powder technology. ? [It] will likewise be valuable to scientists who are eager to acquire basic knowledge of particulate science in pharmaceutics." - Pharmaceutical Research"A useful guide to the subject?the volume covers a gap in the existing literature and should be on the shelves of company libraries."- Organic Process Research and Development Journal
