Amidon G.L., Lee P.I., Topp E.M. (Eds.) Transport Processes in Pharmaceutical Systems

CRC Press, USA, 2000. — 725 p. — (Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences 102) — ISBN: 978-0824766108.This cutting-edge reference clearly explains pharmaceutical transport phenomena, demonstrating applications ranging from drug or nutrient uptake into vesicle or cell suspensions, drug dissolution and absorption across biological membranes, whole body kinetics, and drug release from polymer reservoirs and matrices to heat and mass transport in freeze-drying and hygroscopicity.Introduction to Transport Processes
