Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solids presents a comprehensive examination of polymorphic behavior in pharmaceutical development that is ideal for pharmaceutical development scientists and graduate students in pharmaceutical science.
Fully updated and expanded, this new edition focuses on pharmaceutical aspects of polymorphism and solvatomorphism, while systematically explaining their thermodynamic and structural origins.
Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solids now includes:
- new chapters:
- computational methodologies
- high-throughput screening methods
- pharmaceutical cocrystals
- thermally-induced and solution-mediated phase transformations
- amorphous solids
- summarized topics of crystallography, preparation, and characterization
- coverage of related topics, such as the amorphous state
