The cross-section surface shows a dense tangling-up of flat crystals inside the particle
(Figure 15.2.3.7). Flat crystals are concentrically disposed at the periphery of the rounded
particles, like a shell. The inside of the particle is a disordered arrangement of small flat
crystals. Thus, the surface offered to evaporation is very important and this should lead to
the easy escape of RS.
Ibuprofen agglomerates
Ibuprofen particles are large agglomerates of flat crystals with quite soft consistence and a
nearly rounded shape (Table 15.2.3.3).
