Single crystals of calcite with regular patterned surfaces comprising close-packed arrays of
hemispherical cavities or domes were produced by crystallization on colloidal monolayers or …

Synthetic and biogenic calcite (CaCO3) crystals are known to incorporate
biomacromolecules [1] and other organic molecules [2] while still diffracting x-rays as single …

This paper presents a study of the morphogenesis of oriented crystals caused by solution
growth modifiers. Self-assembled monolayers of HS-(CH2) 15-CO2H, HS-(CH2) 10-CO2H …

The crystal growth of calcium carbonate on a chitosan substrate was achieved using a
supersaturated calcium carbonate solution, by using various additives, such as 6 …

Nature's ability to fashion single crystals into nearly any shape is remarkable, and as yet
unparalleled by current technology.[1] A beautiful example is provided by sea-urchin spines …

Inspired by mineralization in biological organisms, fabrication of higher ordered CaCO 3
crystals modified by surfactants has received much attention. In our present work, mixed …

Calcium carbonate biomineralization uses complex assemblies of macromolecules that
control the nucleation, growth, and positioning of the mineral with great detail. To investigate …

It is well known that in biomineralization, the inorganic solids crystallized in the presence of
organic phases, which are generally recognized as additives and matrix, leading to the …

Biomimetic heterogeneous nucleation and growth of calcium carbonate crystals on the
chitosan film as the template took place in supersaturated calcium bicarbonate solution. The …

Four amphiphilic peptides with designed hairpin structure were synthesized and their
monolayers were employed as model systems to study biologically inspired calcium …
