AbstractComputational modeling is a ubiquitous technique in materials science, but until recently this approach has not been widely applied to the drug development process. The formation of particles, their kinematics, and their response to processing stresses are increasingly being studied using computational techniques (computational fluid dynamics and discrete element analysis). These computational techniques can be predictive tools to guide scientists who are designing pharmaceutical dosage forms with specific macroscopic properties. This article gives an overview of the types of computational methods that are used in pharmaceutical materials science and provides examples of their application to some problems from the literature and the authors' own work.

This paper briefly reviews the applications of materials science and engineering in the pharmaceutical industry. The materials characterization techniques highlighted in the paper as being utilized in the pharmaceutical industry are dynamic light scattering and photon correlation spectroscopy, mercury intrusion, gas density pycnometry and energy density analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance and Raman microscopy. The other areas of applications of materials science and engineering in the pharmaceutical industry briefly discussed are materials processing, materials research and development, and materials selection. This paper further highlighted that the program as it is currently offered by various institutions in Nigeria is yet to incorporate the courses in pharmaceutical materials. It concluded by pointing out that some institutions outside Nigeria have incorporated pharmaceutical materials in the programs of materials science and engineering. Suggestions were made for the materials science and engineering programs in Nigeria to build further capacity for effective applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Keywords— Applications, materials engineering, pharmaceutical industry
