The Mechanics of Inhaled Pharmaceutical Aerosols: An Introduction

The Mechanics of Inhaled Pharmaceutical Aerosols, Second Edition provides a concise but thorough exposition of the fundamental concepts in the field of pharmaceutical aerosols. The field of inhaled pharmaceutical aerosols has grown rapidly since the original edition was published in 2001. The revised edition will allow researchers in the field to gain an up-to-date, thorough understanding of the field from first principles, allowing them to understand, design, develop and improve inhaled pharmaceutical aerosol devices and therapies. The first four chapters provide an introduction to several fundamental topics. Chapters 5-7 consider mechanics and deposition specifically in the respiratory tract, while the last three chapters consider the mechanics associated with the three main existing types of pharmaceutical aerosol inhalation devices. The text will be used extensively by academics in their research, as well as in courses taught on this topic at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of this book, it will also serve a wide audience that includes engineers and scientists involved with inhaled aerosol therapies. Provides a concise but thorough exposition of the fundamental concepts in the field of pharmaceutical aerosols Allows researchers in the field to gain an up-to-date, thorough understanding of the field from first principles Introduces the pharmaceutical aerosols field to the many engineers and scientists entering this area
