Applications of Small Angle X-ray Scattering in Pharmaceutical Science

Abstract

Small angle X-ray scattering offers opportunities to better understand pharmaceutical systems across a range of length scales related to drug delivery. This contribution aims to highlight a range of areas in which SAXS can be deployed to better understand structure in pharmaceutically relevant materials from molecular to colloidal dimensions, with a focus on developing synchrotron techniques that provide new opportunities in time resolved kinetic studies.
