A 2 : 1 urea • adipic acid cocrystal was obtained in two polymorphic forms (Form I reported earlier, and Form II synthesized in this study) using mechanochemistry as well as solution crystallization. Lower solubility and leaching study showed the newly synthesized urea • adipic acid 2 : 1 cocrystal to be an efficient sustained-release nitrogen fertilizer compared to commercially available urea.
As the global community facing serious challenges such as increasing population and shrinking cultivation land that will raise an issue regarding sufficient food demand; a 70–100% expansion in global food...
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.
