Advanced Pharmaceutics ─ Physicochemical Principles

Kim (pharmaceutical science, Loma Linda University) explains basic mechanistic and quantitative interpretation skills needed to solve physical pharmacy related problems in this guide for students and professionals. He supplies background on thermodynamics, ionic equilibria, solutions and distribution, surface chemistry and colloids, kinetics, diffusion, and polymer science, and outlines the research on diffusion through a membrane and the use of polymers in dosage forms. He demonstrates the development of formulae and models and describes their use for a variety of formulation situations. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
