Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Lectures on the most problematical points of the Powder Technology processes in the pharmaceutical industry. Permanently inovated lectures demand attending of students. Recommended literature and the main thesis of the lectures on www pages of Faculty of Chemistry is insufficient for the successfull exam.
Aims
Basic knowledge of both Powder Technology theory and practice used in today´s pharmaceutical processes.
