  2. 1. Phase Transformations in Solid Pharmaceutical Materials Studied by AFM, ESCA, DSC and SAXS

    Author : Denny Mahlin; Göran Alderborn; Sven Engström; Duncan Q M Craig; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; polymer; lipid; lactose; phase transformation; phase formation; crystallisation; AFM; X-ray diffraction; ESCA; DSC; solid dispersion; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Mixing excipients is a common way to produce pharmaceutical materials with suitable properties for drug formulation. An understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in the formation and transformation of the structures of solid state mixtures is crucial if one is to be able to produce materials with the desired properties in a reliable way.
