Executive Summary :

To develop the molecular-level chemistry of interactions between active pharmaceutical ingredients and the metal oxide during atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques. Upon developing this, we aim to identify (i) the presence of impurities, (ii) the infiltration process of ALD precursors (iii) recommend suitable ALD precursors/reaction conditions for API-ALD formulation. To exhaustively characterise atomically thin coatings and (a) Elucidate the structure and compositional uniformity of substrate-coating interface, (b) Quantify the thickness, conformality, bonding and the structure of the substrate-coating interface and (c) Derive a relation between the roughness of the substrate and that of coating.
