(001) Oriented calcite crystals were synthesized on mica due to the crystal lattice match
between the (001) calcite face and (001) plane of mica. Poly (vinyl sulfonate) and poly …

Biomineralization is believed to be achieved by the intimate cooperation of soluble
macromolecules and an insoluble matrix at the specific inorganic–organic interface. It has …

Magnesium ions are widely found in calcium-based biominerals as an accessory
component. In this report, the influence of magnesium ions on the crystal growth of CaCO3 …

We investigated the influence of the porosity of the growth medium on the crystallization of
calcium carbonate in hydrogels with different gelatin solid contents (2.5, 5, and 10 wt%). In …

Anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), was used as a template to modify the
formation of CaCO3 crystals. Aragonite was produced when the concentration of SDS was …

Highly controlled biomineralization of calcium carbonate is via non-classical
mesocrystallization of amorphous precursors. In the present study, a simple in vitro assay …

We demonstrated that poly (acrylic acid)(PAA) was effective as an organic additive for the
crystallization of calcium carbonate on single-phase calcite substrates with three different …

Mg2+ and the mixture of Mg2+/dl-aspartic or l-tyrosine were used as effective crystal
nucleation and growth modifiers to control the crystallization of CaCO3. The polymorph and …

Various functional groups have been suggested to play essential roles on biomineralization
of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) in natural system. 2D and 3D models of regularly arranged …

Calcium carbonate minerals, such as aragonite and calcite, are widespread in biomineral
skeletons, shells, exoskeletons, and more. With rapidly increasing p CO2 levels linked to …
