The dissolution advantage of amorphous solids can be negated either by crystallization of the amorphous solid on contact with the dissolution medium or through rapid crystallization of the supersaturated solution. Polymeric additives can potentially retard both of these crystallization routes, leading to the generation of supersaturated solutions that can persist for biologically relevant timeframes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
