252 Advancements in Polymers and Amorphous Solids for Pharmaceutical Process Development


Description:
This session includes papers within the scope of particle engineering and material sciences of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients to enable pharmaceutical formulation design and development, specifically centered on polymers and amorphous solids. Abstracts related to novel process designs to achieve product specifications, methods to understand and manipulate particle attributes and scale up of particle engineering are of interest. Advancements in experimental, theoretical, and computational tools to characterize and predict solid properties are considered, as are particle engineering approaches for amorphous drug products.
