Crystal engineering is a field of chemical engineering that focuses on the design and synthesis of molecular crystals. It involves the study of the physical and chemical properties of crystals, as well as the development of methods to control their formation. Crystal engineering is used to create materials with specific properties, such as improved solubility, increased stability, and enhanced reactivity. It is also used to develop new materials for applications in the pharmaceutical, electronics, and materials industries.
Crystal engineering is a rapidly growing field, with research and development activities taking place in both academia and industry. Companies in the market include Merck, Pfizer, Novartis, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as smaller companies such as Crystal Pharma and Crystal Bioscience. Show Less Read more
