TLDR
Polymorphism is the ability of any element or compound to crystallize as more than one distinct crystal species (e.g., carbon as cubic diamond or hexagonal graphite).

Reversible phase transitions in a buckybowl monolayer.

TL;DR: Like penguins on ice, buckybowl molecules move closer together when cooled on a copper surface (see model of a corannulene molecule adsorbed on Cu(111) for a model of how this affects the density at room temperature.

Ab initio prediction of polymorphs

TL;DR: The prediction of possible crystal structures from first principles, using only the molecular structure as a starting point, is still controversial as mentioned in this paper, and an approach to solving this crystal packing problem has been proposed.

Quantitative polymorph contaminant analysis in tablets using Raman and near infra-red spectroscopies.

TL;DR: This study generated a model tablet system with two excipients and a 10% API concentration, where the API is a mixture of the FII and FIII polymorphs of piracetam, and using transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS) and NIR spectroscopies it was possible to detect FII polymorph contamination in these model tablets.

Micronisation of carbamazepine through rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS)

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of submicron carbamazepine particles by rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) was reported, and the results showed that the particle size can be reduced at least by a factor of 29 to median sizes between 0.43 and 0.9μm.

Fresemide crystal forms; solid state and physicochemical analyses

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of diuretic frusemide II was shown to be solvent dependent, being recrystallised by a solvent-evaporation process from methanol or ethanol and inhibited by the addition of water (5% v/v level).

Mechanism of sustained‐action medication. Theoretical analysis of rate of release of solid drugs dispersed in solid matrices

TL;DR: The analyses suggest that for the latter system the time required to release 50% of the drug would normally be expected to be approximately 10 per cent of that required to dissolve the last trace of the solid drug phase in the center of the pellet.

The united states pharmacopeia.

Robert A. Hatcher
- 04 Jan 1908 - 
TL;DR: The Pharmacopeia was called into being by physicians in 1820, and in 1850 pharmacists were admitted to the convention; since then physicians have gradually relinquished control to pharmacists, and to-day the authors are confronted with an anomalous condition.

Thermal methods of analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a revised edition necessitated by the phenomenal growth of the field during the past decade contains 90% new material, focusing on tech niques and applications of thermal analysis.
