This book presents reliable and versatile characterization tools for the successful development of pharmaceutical products. It highlights the ability of thermal methods to characterize almost any sample, remain inexpensive, and be operator friendly. The book focuses on the most widely applicable methods and demonstrates how to interpret the associated data. It covers
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),
modulated temperature DSC, thermogravimetric analysis, thermal microscopy, microcalorimetry, high sensitivity DSC, dynamic mechanical analysis, and thermally stimulated current. The chapters include theoretical background, measurement optimization, and
pharmaceutical applications for each…
