Polyimide materials, as Kapton®, are widely used for flexible electronics substrates or as insulators, thanks to their wide range of thermal stability as well as excellent dielectric and mechanical properties. However, there are limitations in their processability and employment in new technologies due to their low solubility and deep amber staining, resulting from charge transfer interactions established between polymer rigid chains. Currently, researchers are focusing on designing resins with excellent thermal and chemical stability, transparent and colorless with a high processability in terms of viscosity and solubility. However, balancing among all those properties for this class of materials remains a big challenge today, as some of these properties seem to exclude others. In this episode, the focus will be on aliphatic anhydrides, which play a key role for the final polyimide’s properties enhancement. This will be explained by B.Sc. Sara Greco, a chemist working on this topic (as part of her master's thesis) in the R&D department of Valsynthese, a Swiss CDMO specialized in hazardous chemistry.

Jet milling is a well-established particle engineering technique for producing micronized powders with controlled particle size distribution and increased surface area. This makes them suitable for inhalation drug delivery. However, successful implementation of jet milling requires a robust Quality by Design (QbD) approach that ensures the critical quality attributes of the micronized particles are maintained throughout the process development. This episode will cover the principles and intricacies of the jet milling process. It will also highlight some of the challenges when micronizing for inhalation delivery, and give some possible solutions. A case study will demonstrate a reliable process development strategy using a QbD approach for micronizing nilotinib, an API with potential for the treatment of severe chronic asthma. It will highlight the significance of implementing a QbD approach, and its benefits in process development. Overall, this presentation aims to provide valuable insights into the jet milling process and QbD approach for inhalation drug delivery and their potential applications in drug development.
