Key Points

The research aims to understand how fluid shear influences secondary nucleation and the role of seed polymorphism.
Conducted rigorous control experiments to assess the effects of fluid shear.
Analyzed different polymorphs of glycine seeds during the crystallization process.
Evaluated the secondary nucleation rate under varying shear conditions.
Findings demonstrate that fluid shear significantly influences the rate of secondary nucleation.
Results indicate that different polymorphs of glycine seeds show varied responses to shear.
Control experiments validated the impact of seed polymorphism on nucleation behavior.

Implication

Investigates how fluid shear affects secondary nucleation in glycine crystals, suggesting polymorphism plays a key role.

Abstract

The effect of fluid shear on secondary nucleation has long been been debated in the crystallisation literature. In this work, we investigated the influence of seed polymorphism on secondary nucleation...
