Pharmaceutics is one of the most diverse subject areas in all of pharmaceutical science. In brief, it is concerned with the scientific and technological aspects of the design and manufacture of dosage forms or medicines. An understanding of pharmaceutics is therefore vital for all pharmacists and those pharmaceutical scientists who are involved with converting a drug or a potential drug into a medicine that can be delivered safely, effectively and conveniently to the patient. Now in its fourth edition, this best-selling textbook in pharmaceutics has been brought completely up to date to reflect the rapid advances in delivery methodologies by eye and injection, advances in drug formulations and delivery methods for special groups (such as children and the elderly), nanomedicine, and pharmacognosy. At the same time the editors have striven to maintain the accessibility of the text for students of pharmacy, preserving the balance between being a suitably pitched introductory text and a clear reflection of the state of the art. New to this edition New editor: Kevin Taylor, Professor of Clinical Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, University of London. Twenty-two new contributors. Six new chapters covering parenteral and ocular delivery; design and administration of medicines for the children and elderly; the latest in plant medicines; nanotechnology and nanomedicines, and the delivery of biopharmaceuticals. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout. provides a logical, comprehensive account of drug design and manufacture includes the science of formulation and drug delivery designed and written for newcomers to the design of dosage forms New to this edition New editor: Kevin Taylor, Professor of Clinical Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, University of London.

This book concentrates on the topic of physical and chemical equilibrium. Using the simplest mathematics along with numerous numerical examples it accurately and rigorously covers physical and chemical equilibrium in depth and detail. It continues to cover the topics found in the first edition however numerous updates have been made including: Changes in naming and notation (the first edition used the traditional names for the Gibbs Free Energy and for Partial Molal Properties, this edition uses the more popular Gibbs Energy and Partial Molar Properties,) changes in symbols (the first edition used the Lewis-Randal fugacity rule and the popular symbol for the same quantity, this edition only uses the popular notation,) and new problems have been added to the text. Finally the second edition includes an appendix about the Bridgman table and its use.

This resource provides effective mechanistic methods for analyzing and understanding physical and chemical behaviour in foods, and explains how to manipulate and control such behaviour during food processing, distribution and use.;Written by 23 authorities in the field, Physical Chemistry of Foods: treats factors controlling crystallization, cross-linking reactions, dispersion and surface-adsorption processes in foods and clarifies how to modify crystal size distribution, stabilize dispersions and minimize fouling; explores uptake competition between mineral nutrients - offering guidelines for efficient uptake and absorption; describes kinetic rate-controlling steps in Maillard reactions - examining how to manipulate Maillard browning; discusses how gels form and instrumental methods of following gelling processes and covers how to create gel-based textures and structures in foods; considers factors that control the behaviour of bread during dough development, proofing, and baking - showing how carbon dioxide release affects loaf expansion; and reveals how glass transitions affect rheological and kinetic behaviour and transport processes in foods - detailing how to manipulate glass transitions and product behaviour by changes in composition and water content.;Food scientists and technologists; food, agricultural and bioresource engineers; physical and surface chemists; nutritionists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and industrial trainees in these disciplines will repeatedly find valuable new insights and approaches for dealing with practical and theoretical problems and a wealth of useful information in Physical Chemistry of Foods, with its more than 1380 literature citations.

This book contains the latest information on all aspects of the most important chemical thermodynamic properties of Gibbs energy and Helmholtz energy, as related to fluids. Both the Gibbs energy and Helmholtz energy are very important in the fields of thermodynamics and material properties as many other properties are obtained from the temperature or pressure dependence. Bringing all the information into one authoritative survey, the book is written by acknowledged world experts in their respective fields. Each of the chapters will cover theory, experimental methods and techniques and results for all types of liquids and vapours. This book is the fourth in the series of Thermodynamic Properties related to liquids, solutions and vapours, edited by Emmerich Wilhelm and Trevor Letcher. The previous books were: Heat Capacities (2010), Volume Properties (2015), and Enthalpy (2017). This book fills the gap in fundamental thermodynamic properties and is the last in the series.
