Acceleration of crystal growth rates: an unexpected effect of tailor-made additives

The importance of relative growth rates in the preponderance of α- over γ-glycine during solution crystallisation has been confirmed. Most surprisingly tailor-made additives drastically accelerated the growth of γ-glycine-an unexpected and key factor in the polymorphic outcome of glycine crystallisa...

Description
Summary:The importance of relative growth rates in the preponderance of α- over γ-glycine during solution crystallisation has been confirmed. Most surprisingly tailor-made additives drastically accelerated the growth of γ-glycine-an unexpected and key factor in the polymorphic outcome of glycine crystallisation. Additives drastically accelerate the growth of γ-glycine-an unexpected and key factor in the polymorphic outcome of glycine crystallisation.
