VPS2072 - Formulation Chemistry II

Leader: Dr Richard Prankerd

Offered

Parkville Second semester 2008 (Day)

Synopsis

Stability. Chemical stability - rate processes and rate constants, complex reactions, physicochemical effects on rates, pH rate profiles, hydrolysis of esters and amides, epimerization, dehydration, oxidation, photolysis. Physical stability - water absorption, non-chemical loss, transitions of crystalline state, particle size changes.
