ABSTRACTZirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) based glass-ceramics, in which the crystalline phase (aimed at preferentially incorporating minor actinides or Pu) is embedded in a durable calcium aluminosilicate glassy matrix, can be envisaged as good waste form candidates. In this study, the effect of parent glass composition – and particularly of TiO2, ZrO2, CaO and Al2O3 amounts -on the microstructure and the structure of the glass-ceramics obtained after controlled devitrification (nucleation + crystal growth) is reported. It clearly appears that the volume percentage of zirconolite crystals and their nucleation rate in the bulk of the glass strongly depends both on (CaO + ZrO2 + TiO2) and Al2O3 amounts in parent glass. Neodymium is mainly used to simulate trivalent minor actinides whereas several samples were also prepared with other lanthanides (Ce, Eu, Gd, Yb) in order to investigate the effect of simulant field strength in glass on the nature and the composition of the crystals formed. The effect of partial or total molar substitution of ZrO2 by HfO2 in parent glass composition was also studied in order to prepare Ca(Zr1-xHfx)Ti2O7 (0 < × ≤ 1) based glass-ceramics which could be interesting in order to minimize criticality problems.

Docetaxel (form A), a stoichiometric hydrate containing three water molecules per molecule of drug substance (Taxotere®), is thermodynamically stable under ambient conditions of pressure, temperature and relative humidity. In order to gain a better understanding of docetaxel system at the atomic scale a structural study was performed. Due to strong anisotropy of crystals (thin plates), the crystal structure of docetaxel (29 degrees of freedom) was solved and refined using high resolution XRPD data applying an ab initio direct space method. In parallel, an in-depth crystal growth study was carried out until single crystals suitable for XRSCD structural resolution were obtained: surprisingly, a new polymorph of docetaxel, called form B, was isolated.
