Advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students will learn to apply thermodynamic principles to create robust drug products and to predict, prevent, analyze, and evaluate the root cause of product failures. Professionals engaged in drug product design will find this book to be a rich and easy to use reference guide. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first two chapters address some key basics of data reporting and analysis, math, and thermodynamic properties using simple and accessible language. These chapters also help readers understand fundamental underlying definitions and physical relationships required to use thermodynamic laws in the design of drug products. In later chapters, the book focuses on six industrial pharmacy relevant thermodynamic topics: the laws of thermodynamics, Gibbs free energy, equilibrium, drug solubility equilibrium, surface thermodynamics, and adsorption phenomena. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThermodynamics for Drug Product Design\u003c\/i\u003e features chapters including: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Reporting and Analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderlying Thermodynamic Physical Property Relationships and Definitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Laws of Thermodynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibbs Free Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquilibrium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrug Solubility Equilibrium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface Thermodynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdsorption Phenomena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat others say: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“…comprehensive, rigorous, and logically organized …the explanations flow effortlessly from the page…”\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—BRUNO HANCOCK,\u003c\/b\u003e PhD, FAAPS, Editor, JPharmSci\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“…has a unique style of communicating complex scientific issues…”\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—KEN MORRIS,\u003c\/b\u003e PhD, FAAPS, Professor Emeritus, Founding Director Lachman Institute\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“…unusual wide range of subjects…unusual for detail…”\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—DALE ERIC WURSTER,\u003c\/b\u003e PhD, FAAPS, Professor Emeritus, 2019 AAPS President\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Craig Stagner, RPh, MS, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus and formerly Director of the Campbell University Pharmaceutical Sciences Institute and Director of the Center for Analysis of Pharmaceutical Biomaterials at Campbell University College of Pharmacy \u0026amp; Health Sciences at Buies Creek, NC.
