Polymorph selection of APIs at functionalized surfaces using SHG KU Leuven
Crystalline materials commonly display a surprisingly large variety of stable and metastable crystal structures with distinctive physical properties. This phenomenon is called polymorphism. A well-known example is the element carbon which can exist as diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerene etc. In the pharmaceutical industry, control over the polymorph outcome is crucial, because the crystal structure determines the efficacy, stability and ...
