International Series of Monographs in Chemical Engineering, Volume 10: Principles of Powder Mechanics: Essays on the Packing and Flow of Powders and Bulk Solids covers topics on packings; elementary statics; measurement of powder properties; flow patterns and segregation; and kinematics.

The manufacture and use of the powders of non-ferrous metals has been taking place for many years in what was previously Soviet Russia, and a huge amount of knowledge and experience has built up in that country over the last forty years or so. Although accounts of the topic have been published in the Russian language, no English language account has existed until now.Six prominent academics and industrialists from the Ukraine and Russia have produced this highly-detailed account which covers the classification, manufacturing methods, treatment and properties of the non-ferrous metals ( aluminium, titanium, magnesium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, lead, tin, bismuth, noble metals and earth metals).The result is a formidable reference source for those in all aspects of the metal powder industry. - Covers the manufacturing methods, properties and importance of the following metals: aluminium, titanium, magnesium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, noble metals, rare earth metals, lead, tin and bismuth - Expert Russian team of authors, all very experienced - English translation and update of book previously published in Russian

Developing Solid Oral Dosage Forms: Pharmaceutical Theory and Practice, Second Edition illustrates how to develop high-quality, safe, and effective pharmaceutical products by discussing the latest techniques, tools, and scientific advances in preformulation investigation, formulation, process design, characterization, scale-up, and production operations. This book covers the essential principles of physical pharmacy, biopharmaceutics, and industrial pharmacy, and their application to the research and development process of oral dosage forms. Chapters have been added, combined, deleted, and completely revised as necessary to produce a comprehensive, well-organized, valuable reference for industry professionals and academics engaged in all aspects of the development process. New and important topics include spray drying, amorphous solid dispersion using hot-melt extrusion, modeling and simulation, bioequivalence of complex modified-released dosage forms, biowaivers, and much more. - Written and edited by an international team of leading experts with experience and knowledge across industry, academia, and regulatory settings - Includes new chapters covering the pharmaceutical applications of surface phenomenon, predictive biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics, the development of formulations for drug discovery support, and much more - Presents new case studies throughout, and a section completely devoted to regulatory aspects, including global product regulation and international perspectives

This important book covers the main types of materials that foodscientists have to deal with. Special attention is given to starchand gluten as being of particular importance in food science andnot typical of general classes of substance. The book approachesthe subject matter form a physics viewpoint. Based on the fundamental quantitative principles, which must formthe basis for any discussion, qualitative or quantitative, aboutthe behaviour of the systems involved, the book thus differs fromothers currently available. The editor, Peter Belton, currentlyPresident of the Institute of Food Science and Technology has drawntogether an impressive list of international contributors,providing a book which is essential to all those involved in workon the structure of foods
