Morphology

Morphology allows you to predict crystal morphology from the atomic structure of a crystal and to study particle shape and to consider the effects of altering the growth rate of particular faces on crystal morphology. Morphology also enables the development of tailor-made additives, and the control of solvent and impurity effects. Application areas include pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, food sciences, petrochemicals, cements, and commodity and specialty chemicals.

Morphology will enable you to:

• Understand structural reasons for morphology as you predict crystal habit from crystal structure and analyze relevant growth faces
• Relate predicted morphology to experiment, enabling indexing of experimental data
• Consider the effects of tailor-made additives and solvents by identifying important interactions at key growth faces.
• Predict the morphological effects of modifying the growth rates of particular faces
• Take an essential step towards preferential crystallization of metastable polymorphs
