General Information

	The aim of the symposium is to assemble scientists and specialists from universities and industrie as well as from pharmaceutical, agrochemical and food companies.
	The anticipated subjects are in the interacting fields of Pharmacy with Applied Physical Chemistry. The characterization of Active Substances as well as the description of Dosage Forms are main subjects of the venue. The pharmaceutical importance of Polymers and Excipients and their compatibility with Drug Substances will be outlined.
	An exchange of information is anticipated by a Scientific Program offering plenary lectures, short communications, poster sessions and workshops. Lectures are also welcomed wich give overviews in the different aspects of research, development as well as in the description of the physicochemical aspects of the manufacturing processes of active substances, such as crystallization, phase separation, drying, and grinding. Also included in our Scientific Program are preformulation and formulation processes for different types of dosage forms.
	You are cordially invited to participate in this Symposium. The conference language will be English. Manufacturers will exhibit instruments used in the fields of Physical Chemistry, Thermal Analysis, Calorimetry and in Pharmacy. The contributions will be published in form of a workbook consisting of one-page abstracts.
	You can find all ongoing information about the PhandTA 5 on this site from now on. If you are interested to participate in PhandTA 5, please use the contact below to receive the Circular.

Program overview

The program consists of the following Sections:

a.	Drug Substances: thermal characterization, phase diagrams, polymorphism, stability, hydrates, solvates,
	enantiomers
b.	Excipients and Polymers: characterization and compatibility
c.	Dosage Forms, Manufacturing, Aging, and Release: solid dispersions, semi-solid forms, liquid forms,
	microemulsions, controlled released systems (e.g. transdermal systems)
d.	Site-specific Drug Delivery, Interactions: interactions drug-receptor, transport mechanisms
e.	Instrumentation and Methods of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry: new techniques, calibration,
	validation
