Milling and micronization are commonly used to reduce the particle size of active pharmaceutical ingredients excipients. During these processes materials subjected extensive deformation that may result in defect nucleation, polymorphic transformations, amorphization. Current amorphization models require parameters demand number experiments. We present a multiscale framework predict mechanically induced without experimental information. The model requires as input only molecular structure...
