Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
This text is the most comprehensive resource on the application of physical chemical principles in the various branches of pharmacy. It helps students, teachers, researchers, and manufacturing pharmacists use the elements of mathematics, chemistry, and physics in their work and study.
This edition thoroughly examines basic physical pharmacy principles, equilibria phenomena, kinetic phenomena, dispersed systems, and drug delivery, and relates the pharmaceutical sciences to biological phenomena. New chapters cover biopharmaceutics and bioavailability; molecular and cellular biopharmaceutics; transporters and metabolizing enzymes; molding and compaction; and drug delivery systems.
Significantly updated and revised review questions for each chapter are available in the book and on connection.LWW.com.
Synopsis
Martin's Physical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is considered the most comprehensive text available on the application of the physical, chemical and biological principles in the pharmaceutical sciences. It helps students, teachers, researchers, and industrial pharmaceutical scientists use elements of biology, physics, and chemistry in their work and study. Since the first edition was published in 1960, the text has been and continues to be a required text for the core courses of Pharmaceutics, Drug Delivery, and Physical Pharmacy. The Sixth Edition features expanded content on drug delivery, solid oral dosage forms, pharmaceutical polymers and pharmaceutical biotechnology, and updated sections to cover advances in nanotechnology.
