The emergence of molecular-based compounds being developed for applications as advanced materials and pharmaceuticals necessitates an ever more advanced approach to the control and characterization of solid-state properties; one key route to accomplish this goal is by understanding the crystallization of these compounds. Crystalline and solid-form manufacturing is a universal application–more than 80% of pharmaceutical products and 60% of fine and specialty chemical products are made in crystalline form, for example, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fats and oils, foods and confectionary, pigments and inks, consumer products, materials, and metals. This has led to a dramatically increased interest and prominence in crystallization processes, in the discovery of new forms, control of polymorphism, design of morphology for particular modes of delivery, and for formulation and scale-up, in optimizing the crystallization process in batch or flow modes. Further, there has been a general realization that the crystallization process is core to the production of solid-state materials, at a fundamental level, and is set to make an increasing contribution to coatings, especially epitaxially grown layers. Among the issues that require to be addressed in understanding the crystallization process include physical form discovery and screening, particle technology analytical methods for characterizing the synthesized products, backed up by modeling and theory of both microscopic and macroscopic processes. In more detail, and to set the scope for the discussions introduced below, each of these raise a range of technical and scientific challenges that must be addressed to inform a full understanding of particular crystallization processes geared at the production of selected solid material forms.
