Photopyroelectric calorimetry in the front detection configuration (FPPE) was combined with photothermal radiometry (PTR), in order to investigate dynamic thermal parameters of different layers of a detection cell. The layout of the detection cell consists of three layers: directly irradiated pyroelectric sensor, liquid layer, and solid backing material; and the scanning parameter is the thickness of the liquid layer (thermal-wave resonator cavity method). The theory developed for the two techniques indicates that both FPPE and PTR signals can lead, in the thermally thin regime for the sensor and liquid layer, to the direct measurement of the thermal diffusivity or effusivity of the sensor and/or liquid layer, or the thermal effusivity of the backing material. The two methods offer complementary results and/or reciprocally support each other.

Abstract. Salt formation is a good method of increasing solubility, dissolution rate and consequently the bioavailability of poor soluble acidic or basic drugs [Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solids, Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vol. 192, 2nd edn, Informa Healthcare, New York, 2009]. The aim of this study was to obtain and to investigate the structural properties of the compound obtained by solvent drop grinding (SDG) method [Chem. Commun. (Camb.) 20 (2002), 2372-2373 at room temperature starting from the 1:1 molar ratios of ambazone (AMB) and niflumic acid (NIA). The thermal behavior of the obtained compound (AMB · NIA) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG), the thermal diffusivity and effusivity parameters were determined by photothermal radiometry (PTR). The structural characterization was performed with X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRPD data and FTIR spectra demonstrated a new structure for AMB · NIA compound as compared to those of the starting materials.
