Abstract
ABSTRACTSolid‐state instabilities in crystalline solids arise during processing primarily because a certain level of structural disorder has been introduced into the crystal. Many physical instabilities appear to be associated with the recrystallization of molecules from these disordered regions, while chemical instabilities arise from sufficient molecular mobility to allow solid‐state chemical reactivity. In this Commentary we discuss the various forms of structural disorder, processing which can produce disorder, the quantitative analysis of process‐induced order, and strategies to limit disorder and its effects. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 103:2595–2604, 2014
