Martin's Physical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is a comprehensive resource on the application of physical chemical principles in the various branches of pharmacy. It helps the reader use the elements of mathematics, chemistry, and physics in their work.

This edition thoroughly examines:

• basic physical pharmacy principles
• equilibria phenomena
• kinetic phenomena
• dispersed systems
• drug delivery
• and relates the pharmaceutical sciences to biological phenomena

New chapters cover:

• biopharmaceutics and bioavailability
• molecular and cellular biopharmaceutics
• transporters and metabolizing enzymes
• molding and compaction
• drug delivery systems
