Physical Pharmaceutics 2 for B Pharmacy 4th Semester PTU is a definitive academic book meticulously crafted to align with the prescribed syllabus of Punjab Technical University (PTU). Authored by the esteemed Prof. Dr. Subash Philip, Dr. Manasa Deepa R, and Nikhil Suresh Bhujbal, and published by Thakur Publishers, this volume serves as an indispensable resource for undergraduate pharmacy students. The book is strategically designed to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, providing a comprehensive foundation in the physicochemical principles critical to modern pharmaceutical formulation and development.

The scope of Physical Pharmaceutics II is to deliver an in-depth understanding of the various physical and physicochemical properties governing drug behavior and dosage form performance. The content is structured to fulfill the core objectives of the PTU curriculum, enabling students to apply these principles in formulation development, stability testing, and the evaluation of dosage forms. Each chapter systematically unfolds complex concepts with clarity, supported by illustrative examples and a logical progression from fundamental theory to pharmaceutical applications.

The book commences with an extensive exploration of Colloidal Dispersions (Unit-I), detailing classification, general characteristics, and the size and shape of colloidal particles. It elaborates on the optical, kinetic, and electrical properties of colloids, including the electrical double layer, zeta potential, and Donnan membrane equilibrium. Practical aspects such as preparation, purification (dialysis, electrodialysis, and ultrafiltration), and stabilization of colloids are covered, concluding with their vital applications in pharmacy.

Unit II delves into rheology and the deformation of solids.

The emulsion segment explains various theories of emulsification, the HLB method for formulation, stability issues, preservation, and rheological properties.

Unit IV on micromeretics addresses the science of fine particles. It details particle size distribution, mean particle size, and particle shape. The text explains methods for determining particle size (e.g., optical microscopy, sieving, sedimentation) and surface area (e.g., adsorption method, air permeability). It further explores derived properties of powders like porosity, densities, and crucial powder flow properties quantified by the angle of repose, Carr's Index, and Hausner's Ratio.

The final unit (Unit-V) is dedicated to drug stability and reaction kinetics. It provides a solid foundation in zero-order, first-order, pseudo-first-order, and second-order reaction kinetics. The book examines physical and chemical factors influencing degradation, such as temperature, solvent, ionic strength, and acid-base catalysis. Key stabilization strategies against hydrolysis and oxidation are outlined. The unit culminates with a practical guide to accelerated stability testing, expiration dating, shelf life prediction, and the prevention of photolytic degradation.

Each chapter concludes with a concise summary and an exercise section to reinforce learning and facilitate self-assessment. This book is not merely a syllabus guide; it is a crucial tool for building the physicochemical expertise required for a successful career in pharmaceutical research, development, and quality assurance. Its clear exposition, syllabus-centric approach, and emphasis on pharmaceutical applications make Physical Pharmaceutics 2 the preferred choice for B.
