Abstract: Pharmaceutics has made remarkable progress in recent decades, evolving from an empirical model to a scientific and modern approach through the integration of multidisciplinary theories and advanced technologies. This book comprehensively discusses important theories, technologies, and drug delivery systems in modern pharmaceutics. From the perspectives of physical pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics, it elaborates on the design theories of solid dosage forms, liquid dosage forms, controlled-release dosage forms, targeted dosage forms, and biopharmaceutical dosage forms. It introduces mathematical, physical, and biological methods currently applied or being promoted in formulation research and production, as well as film coating technology, pellet manufacturing technology, powder engineering technology, and new formulation production equipment. The book focuses on rapidly developing oral controlled-release and targeted delivery systems, liposomes, microcapsules, microspheres, prodrugs, and regulated delivery devices. It also covers hydrogels, biodegradable polymers, and ion-exchange resins, which play significant roles in drug release systems. This book serves as an important resource for enhancing the research and production levels of drug formulations, developing new formulations, improving formulation quality, understanding the future prospects and emerging fields of pharmaceutics, and staying updated in the field. It is suitable for scientists, technicians, and professionals engaged in pharmaceutical formulation research, development, and production, as well as faculty and students in pharmaceutical schools and related fields.
