🔬PHYSICAL STATE MANIPULATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND FORMULATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS🔬

This course focused on the different physical states of drugs (crystal,

amorphous) and their specific modes of preparation and transformation

induced by the typical constraints imposed by pharmaceutical industrial

processes. The students gained a thorough understanding of specific

experimental tools suitable for the design and physical characterization of

these materials. It was a transdisciplinary education at the interface

between materials science and pharmacy.

The course has been organized as mini projects and case studies

including a large amount of practical sessions in laboratories. It included

practical extensive use of various preparation techniques (granulation,

compression, film coating, dissolution) and analytical techniques (X-Ray

diffraction, Raman scattering, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC),

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy

(DRS).
