About the authors
ALEXANDER FLORENCE is Dean of the School of Pharmacy and Professor of Pharmacy in the University of London. He was previously Professor of Pharmaceutics at the University of Strathclyde. His research interests are in the relationship between the physical characteristics of formulations and their biological effect, with an emphasis on the surface and colloid chemical character of pharmaceutical systems.
DAVID ATTWOOD is Reader in Pharmacy at the University of Manchester; he previously lectured at the University of Strathclyde. He has numerous publications on the physicochemical properties of drugs and surfactants and in the area of controlled drug delivery and has many years' experience in the teaching of physical pharmacy.
