Colloid and Interface Science in Pharmaceutical Research and Development

Colloid and Interface Science in Pharmaceutical Research and Development describes the role of colloid and surface chemistry in the pharmaceutical sciences. It gives a detailed account of colloid theory, and explains physicochemical properties of the colloidal-pharmaceutical systems, and the methods for their measurement. The book explains the application of these properties and their influence and use for the development of new drugs. Clearly describes the fundamentals of colloid science relevant to drug research and developmentExplains the physicochemical basis of pharmaceutical scienceDescribes the most advanced techniques, AFM (atomic force microscopy) and SFA (surface force apparatus), in detail INDICE: Part I Fundamentals Interaction between drugs Pharmaceutical suspensions Response of colloidal drugs to external fields Aggregation of drugs Concentrated drug particles Rheology of colloidal suspensions Part II Applications of Colloid and Interface Science in Pharmaceutical sciences Liposomes and micelles Binding of drugs on liposomes Drug delivery system Gold nanoparticles Drug permeation through biological membranes EPR effects Part III Measurements Zeta potential of colloidal drugs Atomic force microscope Surface force apparatus
