Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The mechanical factors influencing the appearance of metastable and stable polymorphic crystal forms, and the transformation of metastable forms, will be studied. In particular the importance of secondary nucleation will be assessed. Special attention will be paid to the development of in situ methods based on optical and Raman spectroscopy to explore the behaviour of crystal attrition fragments having a size of the order of micrometers. Factors affecting scale-up will be considered and the potential for using mechanical factors to manipulate polymorphic systems will be investigated.
