Graphene Additives Show New Way to Control Structure of Organic Crystals

A team of researchers at The University of Manchester demonstrated that the surface properties of graphene can be used to control the structure of organic crystals obtained from solution.   Organic crystal structures can be found in a large number of products, such as food, explosives, color pigments and pharmaceuticals.    However, organic crystals can come in different structures, called polymorphs: Each of these forms has very different physical and chemical properties, despite having...
