Particle Dispersion for Formulators

For too long, the particle formulation community has had to work with inadequate formulation tools. Things are now changing for two reasons. First, a lot of the knowledge is available in free apps, demonstrated live during the talks. Second, the community is realising that the solubility science approach is more powerful than the limited capabilities of classic “dispersion” or “colloid”  science. We can now optimize the interactions of solvents, polymers and particles with tools such as Hansen Solubility Parameters and, in a recent development, with hands-on Scheutjens-Fleer theory. With the increading adoption of these new tools, the future for particle formulation science is looking very bright.
