Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid dispersion technology, the science of dispersing one or more bioactive ingredients in an inert matrix in the solid state, is a relevant strategy for achieving an increased dissolution rate, sustained release, improved bioavailability, and modified solid-state properties of drugs with poor or high water solubility. The overall aim and objectives of this Special Issue are to discuss the fundamentals and methods of the evolution of solid dispersions from a practical point of view. The first scientific publications on solid dispersion technologies were published about 60 years ago; since then, the physical stability of solid dispersions has remained a major challenge. Studies that portray successful preparation practices to improve the stability of solid dispersions with in vitro and in vivo assays are welcome to this Special Issue. These studies will undoubtedly contribute to advancing our understanding and application of solid dispersion technology.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: amorphous solid dispersion, ternary solid dispersion, solid dispersion surfactant-free, solid dispersion loaded in structured systems, and solid dispersion in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

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. Pharmaceutics 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.
