Surface Energy in Dry Powders for Inhalation – a myth or reality?
This poster was presented by MEGGLE with the Kiel University for Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics:
Introduction
Interactive blends require adhesion between carrier and API to be modulated.
Several studies concluded causal relationship between decreased surface energy (SE) of either…
