In recent decades, research in the field of solid particles in pharmaceutical science has become more comprehensive and systematic, mainly due to the development of various precision instruments and computer science. However, these advancements may lead to a certain degree of intellectual inertia, and many of the current literature overlooks or even sometimes disregards the fundamental principles on which instruments or procedures rely. As a result, many incorrect interpretations arise, and some parts of this book propose and emphasize this point. Therefore, not all references are new, but rather, we should trust the pioneering scientists of the past. The book also provides some new content in the field of pharmaceutical solid particles research that has never been published before. It is written for those interested in the actual activities at the microscopic level, with a focus on model systems to enhance their broader applicability. This book can serve as a read for scientists in the pharmaceutical industry, skilled pharmacy practitioners, and professionals in government agencies, as it covers issues such as new drug applications. It can also be a read for patent agents or patent examiners, as the book explains whether solutions to given types of problems truly qualify for a patent. Additionally, it is suitable for graduate or undergraduate students who wish to pursue a career in pharmaceutical solid-state research.
