Most people are familiar with the fact that diamond and graphite
are both composed only of carbon; yet they have very different
properties which result from the very different structures of the
two solids - they are polymorphs of carbon. Understanding the
relationship between the structures and the properties of materials
is of fundamental importance in developing and producing new
materials with improved or new properties. The existence of
polymorphic systems allows the direct study of the connection
between structures and properties. This book provides grounding on
the fundamental structural and energetic basis for polymorphism,
the preparation and characterization of polymorphic substances and
its importance in the specific areas of pharmaceuticals, pigments
and high energy (explosive) materials. The closing chapter
describes the intellectual property implications and some of the
precedent patent litigations in which polymorphism has played a
central role. The book contains over 2500 references to provide a
ready entry into the relevant literature.
