Stabilization and spheroidization of ammonium nitrate: Co-crystallization with crown ethers and spherical crystallization by solvent screening

Highly energetic compositions based on functionalized carbon nanomaterials

“…However, the 1 : 1 energetic co-crystals of AN with benzo-18-crown-6 (AN-B18C6) avoid this problem. 312 Alternatively, in order to achieve both phase and thermal stabilization of AN, a new material, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-AN glass has been developed, where PVP can separate AN into its ions through an ion-dipole interaction. 313 It has been reported that ADN could also be stabilized by coating it with other inert materials.…”

Synthesis and characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes-supported dibenzo-14-crown-4 ether with proton ionizable carboxyl sidearm as Li+ adsorbents

“…With lithium ion (Li + ) having an ionic diameter of 1.36 Å, 12-to 14-membered CE rings are most selective (cavity size: 1.2-1.5 Å) [5]. Crown ethers have been widely used in catalysis, organic synthesis and sensing [6][7][8][9]. However, their employment to sequester metal ions is less popular and if applied, CEs are often integrated in liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) or liquid membrane (LM) systems [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Kinetics of co-crystal formation with caffeine and citric acid via liquid-assisted grinding analyzed using the distinct element method

“…Co-crystals have been applied in wide range of areas, such as the production of energy materials (Lee et al, 2013), electronics (Yamamura et al, 2012), and pharmaceuticals (Lemmerer et al, 2010). In the pharmaceutical industry, development strategies for drug discovery have evolved in recent years owing to improvements in synthesis technologies.…”
