Proceedings from the Pharmaceutical Polymers 2007 Conference Now Available.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c71539) has announced the addition of Pharmaceutical Polymers 2007: Basel, Switzerland, 20-21 June 2007 - Conference Proceedings to their offering. Polymer suppliers are continuously striving to produce cleaner materials with more precise specifications and increased functionality. The key, it seems, is to develop a product with a significant processing advantage to satisfy pharmaceutical formulators in scale-up. Variations in particle size, amorphousness and crystallisation can make a world of difference to the quality of a pharmaceutical polymer and, ultimately, its ability to effectively control the release of a drug. We held our first international conference on Pharmaceutical Polymers on 20-21 June 2007 in Basel, which brought together world experts to discuss the latest techniques for the process optimisation of pharmaceutical polymers.
