Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to submit manuscripts in this special issue “Preparation Technologies and Dissolution Behavior of Oral Solids”. Oral solids are ubiquitous as dosage forms to treat all the ills and chills by patients. Despite the many preparation methods in use for oral solids, there is still the search for innovative preparation technologies to overcome the limitations of the commonly used methods such as high shear wet granulation. Improvements in preparation methods such as the use of continuous manufacturing methods have improved productivity in the drug development process. There is also a great interest in the technology and formulation design to improve the oral bioavailability or release properties of poorly water-soluble drugs. In another spectrum, the release properties of fast dissolving drugs could be extended over a wider time span or be released at the desired site in the gastrointestinal tract through the use of specialized preparation technologies that confer the requisite properties to the oral solid dosage form. Clearly, preparation technologies of oral solids can impact the dissolubility of the oral solid dosage form. Additionally, properties of the drug itself like particle size and crystal form have their influence on the dissolution behaviors of oral solids. We look forward to manuscripts related to preparation technologies, dissolution and sustained release oral solids.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceuticals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
