Abstract

This study investigated the effects of dehydration conditions on the surface morphology and melting point of the resulting anhydrous product. The hydrate of thymine, theophylline and cytosine hydrate, were prepared and then dehydrated under various heating temperature conditions. The bulk properties and surface morphology of the hydrate and dehydrated samples were characterized using x-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that although different heating temperatures gave the same solid state of processed samples, they displayed significant impact on the melting point and surface morphology of the samples.
