This volume provides students and working scientists with a readable book on interfacial phenomena. It addresses the subject in a manner which should make it accessible to the scientist without previous experience of interfacial science. The book addresses a wide range of pharmaceutical issues, ranging from product development to research linked to in vivo applications.
