The crystallization and melting behavior of phenyl salicylate under confinement were studied by means of dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). From the analysis of the kinetics of crystallization we established that crystals formed in bulk and under confinement are characterized by varying the rate of growth, dimensionality, and crystal lattice. It was shown that depending on the degree of confinement the crystallization can be accelerated or suppressed completely. Interestingly, we also found that the activation barrier for the crystallization either increases or decreases with respect to the bulk conditions. Further investigation of the melting temperature of the formed crystals indicated unequivocally that it is connected to the formation of different polymorphic forms of salol. Additional FTIR measurements confirmed that thesis. Based on calorimetric data obtained for the confined samples, we concluded that at pores of higher diameter the unstable (monoclinic) form is preferred, while at lower pores the original stable (orthorhombic) crystal is formed.
