Abstract

The influence of 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinooxy (TEMPO) cellulose nanofibers (TCNF) on the nucleation and growth of sulfathiazole (STZ) crystals is uncovered, aiding in the precise control of drug crystal morphology. To elucidate the mechanism by which TCNF regulates the nucleation and growth of STZ crystals, cooling crystallization experiments and molecular simulations were conducted. Initially, the crystal forms of STZ in pure water were determined. Subsequently, crystallization experiments with the addition of TCNF were conducted. The experiments aimed to investigate their effects on crystal form and crystal habits. The results revealed that a pure Form III was obtained due to the hydrogen bonding interactions on the surface of TCNF. Molecular simulations helped better explain the influence on specific crystal faces. This study indicates that the influence of TCNF on the characteristics of STZ crystals is mediated through interaction with the z-axis crystal facets, leading to the formation of block-shaped crystals. In addition, the higher concentration of TCNF forms a local closed space, resulting in blocked mobility, allowing STZ molecules in the solution to grow at the defects of STZ crystallization.

期刊介绍： The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
