Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Amorphous Solid Dispersions", aims at highlighting the latest developments in the formulation and application of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) in the pharmaceutical sciences. ASDs have become a crucial approach to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, addressing a major challenge in drug development. By converting crystalline drugs into amorphous forms, ASDs can significantly improve dissolution rates and therapeutic effectiveness.
The importance of ASDs lies in their potential to optimize oral dosage forms and improve patient outcomes. Recent innovations in materials, formulation techniques, and characterization methods have led to the development of more stable and efficient ASD formulations.
We invite original research articles and review papers that explore novel methodologies, the use of theoretical research, stability investigations, formulation strategies, and innovative applications of ASDs. Contributions that address challenges in the formulation, processing, and characterization of amorphous solid dispersions are particularly welcome. Through this Special Issue, we aim at fostering collaboration and stimulating discussions among researchers and industry professionals to advance the understanding and application of ASDs in enhancing drug delivery systems.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Natalia Rosiak
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
