Surface and interface analysis in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical fields

Surface and Interface Analysis in Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Fields provides a comprehensive review of the most commonly used interface science techniques in drug research and development (including their capabilities and limitations) and relates them to a specific, practical situation.

This book outlines sample preparation crucial for a successful outcome and features methods to interpret results that can be combined with other techniques.

It provides engineers who work in instrument companies a comprehensive understanding of the specific challenges faced by these techniques in pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical applications, presenting a framework for new instruments that can be designed to address current challenges.
