• Sommario/riassunto: 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.<BR>Focuses on practical applications of drug delivery from a physical and mechanistic perspective, highlighting biological systems.<BR>Written by more than 30 international authorities in the field, Transport Processes in
