2006 AIChE Annual Meeting
Session: Control of polymorphism of APIs or broader value-added materials
Different polymorphs of the same chemical entity display distinct physical properties, such as melting point, solubility, dissolution rate, hygroscopicity, stability, etc. The ability to successfully produce and reproduce specific polymorphic modifications is intricately correlated with the efficiency and speed of materials development, the robustness of manufacturing process, and – ultimately – the stability and quality of the targeted value-added materials. Papers are invited on all aspects of the control of polymorphism and pseudopolymorphism, applicable to pharmaceutical development or manufacture of other value-added materials.
