This symposium is a forum to present and discuss recent developments in the fundamental understanding of the relationship between performance of pharmaceutical oral solid dosage forms, manufacturing variables, and mechano-chemical properties of excipients and active ingredients. We invite presentations from experimental, numerical and modeling contributions to the field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: crystal and particle engineering; stability and polymorphism; adhesion and bonding; feeding; blending; wet granulation; powder compaction; quality by design (QbD); destructive and nondestructive characterization of both powders and tablets; tablet disintegration and dissolution; and drug release.
