Solution calorimetry measures the heat of solution of a solid dissolving into a solvent. Hogan & Buckton (2000) have shown there is a measurable difference in the enthalpies of solution between the amorphous and crystalline form of a material. Typically, the dissolution of a crystalline material is an endothermic process and exothermic for an amorphous material. Such an ability to differentiate between the amorphous and crystalline form of a material is important to formulators of solid dosage forms for drug delivery.
