Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many drugs have been developed for the numerous diseases that occur in humans. However, most drugs typically face two problems—biocompatibility and bio-availability—in clinical cases. To solve such problems and to maximize therapeutic effects, drug formulation development is necessary.
The Special Issue, Design and Preparation of Pharmaceutical Formulation, aims to publish articles in the rapidly developing area of smart drug delivery systems. The scope of the issue covers topics related to colloidal carriers for drug delivery, such as liposomes, vesicles, emulsions, micelles, nanoparticles, and nano-emulsions, and other smart assembly systems for the improvement in drug delivery. This Special Issue is focused on manufacturing parameters and formulation variables that affect the performance of drug delivery systems. It is our pleasure to invite you submit a new manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications and reviews are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Tzung-Han Chou
