Abstract
The pore morphology of a porous host may determine which polymorph a crystallizable guest preferentially forms and may influence the kinetics of solid/solid transitions. Slow cooling of the drug acetaminophen (ACE) inside the straight cylindrical pores of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO, tortuosity = 1) in contact with a bulk ACE surface film preferentially yields uniformly oriented form II and/or form III crystals. The occurring orientations of form...
