Abstract
This study aims to investigate the fracture, molecular mobility and crystallization behaviors of amorphous griseofulvin (GSF) in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). In the presence of 10%(w/w) PVP K90, the fracture resistance of griseofulvin was greatly improved. Compared with the pure GSF system, the average fracture temperature of the griseofulvin–PVP K90 system was decreased to approximately −6.1°C. More importantly, a statistical study revealed that the direct connection between fracture and nucleation of griseofulvin was weakened in the presence of PVP K90. This study also explored the effects of PVP K90 on the molecular dynamics and crystallization behaviors of amorphous GSF. In the presence of PVP K90, the crystal growth kinetics and molecular dynamics were both slowed down. Interestingly, needle-like crystal growth was observed, exhibiting approximately the same rates as the bubble-induced process. These findings are important for understanding the complex mechanisms of physical stability of polymer-based amorphous solid dispersions.
期刊介绍:
Many research topics in condensed matter research, materials science and the life sciences make use of crystallographic methods to study crystalline and non-crystalline matter with neutrons, X-rays and electrons. Articles published in the Journal of Applied Crystallography focus on these methods and their use in identifying structural and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, structure-property relationships, structural changes of defects, interfaces and surfaces, etc. Developments of instrumentation and crystallographic apparatus, theory and interpretation, numerical analysis and other related subjects are also covered. The journal is the primary place where crystallographic computer program information is published.
