Funded Activity Summary

Dispersion of Pharmaceutical Powders as Aerosols for Inhalation. The detrimental environmental effects of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) have led to an urgent need of a replacement for the existing CFC propellant driven medical inhalers. Generation of aerosols from dry powders has enormous potential as an alternative for delivery of drugs to the lung. The aims of the proposed research are to investigate specifically the powder surface properties and the orperating conditions on the dispersion of powders as aerosols for inhalation. The knowledge gained will acclerate the design of better powder aerosols, thus benefiting patients suffering from respiratory and systemic diseases.
