Hot-Melt Extrusion

Dear Colleagues,

Hot–melt extrusion has evolved throughout the past 30 years from being a young, pioneering research area in pharmaceutical processing to a mature, broadly accepted, and commercially applied technology. This Special Issue will explore the different facets of how it started, how it evolved to reach today’s state, and what the future might bring. The authors will cover all relevant sections from upstream processing, the extrusion process itself, the corresponding downstream options, as well as special aspects of analytics. All of this will be provided by an expert panel from both industry and academia with a primary emphasis on addressing the needs and interests of both academic and industrial readers.

Prof. Dr. Karl G. Wagner
Mr. Andreas Gryczke
