Editorial Reviews

"
Volume 1 deals with theoretical aspects of various disperse system drug products, such as suspensions, emulsions, colloidal polymer particles, and aerosols…Volume 2, which covers the product development of disperse systems, focuses on the practical examples…These books provide almost everything one likes to know about disperse systems with plenty of examples.
"-Pharmaceutical Research

"…highly valuable...
…manage[s] to nicely combine a historical account with the mandatory interpretation of governmental regulations.
"-Pharmaceutical Development and Technology

From the Publisher

Praise for previous volumes... ...serve[s] as a text book for advanced students and as a reference for all pharmacists (and other professionals who are engaged in this area...recommended to all formulators, as well as scientists and teachers, seeking for a source of quick and comprehensive information about general aspects of disperse system dosage forms.

European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics

...a valuable resource with plenty of useful tips and insights.

Journal of the American Chemical Society

...these books are indispensable for those pharmaceutical scientists involved in the development of disperse dosage forms...[they] will also be very helpful in teaching...there is no doubt that these books will serve as valuable reference books for the years to come.

Pharmaceutical Research

...recommend[ed]...for inclusion into a department reference library, or its use in an academic course because of its broad approach in some areas, such as polymeric coating and nanoparticle development, as well as its specific focus on certain areas such as scale-up and liposomes.

Journal of Controlled Release

The third and final volume on disperse systems contains contributions from both the academic and business sides of the pharmaceutical industry. Part A details several specialized products such as certain types of emulsions, liposomes, polymers used in dispersions as either drug or film carriers, biodegradable and new polymeric dispersions, and the characteristics of polymeric pharmaceutical excipents currently used in drug formulations. Part B describes equipment selection and processing, scale-up manufacturing, quality assurance, validation, and drug regulatory affairs related to disperse system pharmaceutical products and dosage forms.
