Thermally Induced Phenomena in Amorphous Nifedipine: The Correlation Between the Structural Relaxation and Crystal Growth Kinetics by Roman Svoboda

“…This may suggest different types of relaxation kinetics manifesting during slow and rapid heating, with only a certain portion of the relaxation motions occurring that are dependent on the parameters of a given temperature range and time frame. The DSC-recorded crystallization was found to be complex, consisting of four sub-processes: primary crystal growth of α_p and β_p polymorphs, enantiotropic β_p → β_p′ transformation, and β_p/β_p′ → α_p recrystallization. …”
