Fundamentals of Solid Formulation-Understanding and Measurement 2014, was a one day meeting organised by the Formulation Science and Technology Group of the RSC.
The event will took place at Burlington House, London on: Tuesday 11 March 2014
The programme shared the latest research of leading scientists in understanding and designing the solid form for desired product formulation, focusing on recent advances in modelling theory and measurement technologies. Topics covered included: predicting solid form, metastable states and product stability, advances in modelling and measurement, and the design of complex materials.
