Atoms or molecules in a crystal are organized in a periodic and regular way. Crystallinity is referred to the extent of structural order in solid products, such as powders and pellets. Compared to ...

Polymer crystallinity exerts a profound influence on mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance, making its precise characterisation vital for materials design and process control.

To convert polymers from raw materials into the final product, a processing stage is required that involves a molten state, commonly known as melt. The final product will normally be in a ...

Researchers have created a device that can quickly and inexpensively determine whether new pharmaceutical formulations have trace crystallinity that can negatively impact the drug's stability and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University have created a device that can quickly and inexpensively determine whether new pharmaceutical formulations have trace crystallinity that can ...

The Battery Experts video series with Anthony Chalou from Anton Paar examines the crucial role of crystallinity in characterizing cathode and anode powders for lithium-ion batteries. In this video, ...

Coordination nanosheets are emerging 2D materials with a wide range of applications. However, highly crystalline nanosheets are difficult to synthesize through solution-based approaches. In a recent ...

Quantitative analysis to evaluate degrees of crystallinity is an indispensable step in the drug development process. Fully aware of its significance, the CRO service provider—CD Formulation—recently ...

This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure. Michael Sepe, our analyst and author, is an independent materials and ...

The crystalline structure of pharmaceutical solids can sometimes be altered during processing. X-ray powder diffraction and near infrared spectroscopy can be used to determine the amorphous and ...

Many natural compounds that act on the human body provide active ingredients for medicines or clues for developing them, and they play a crucial role in pharmaceutical research. Recent research ...
