Using clear and practical examples, Polymorphism of Pharmaceutical Solids, Second Edition presents a comprehensive examination of polymorphic behavior in pharmaceutical development that is ideal for pharmaceutical development scientists and graduate students in pharmaceutical science. This edition focuses on pharmaceutical aspects of polymorphism and solvatomorphism, while systematically explaining their thermodynamic and structural origins.

Topics include:






Computational methodologies
High-throughput screening methods
Pharmaceutical cocrystals
Thermally-induced and solution-mediated phase transformations
Amorphous solids
Crystallography preparation and characterization
The amorphous state
