A novel CaCO3 hybrid material with a well-ordered hierarchical structure was synthesized
under the effects of phosvitin. Kinetic experiments demonstrate that phosvitin suppresses the …

As an essential inorganic material, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most abundant
minerals in nature, whose preparation by the carbonation of calcium hydroxide [Ca (OH) 2] …

Mineralization of alkaline-earth carbonates in silica-rich media at high pH leads to
fascinating crystal morphologies that strongly resemble products from biomineralization …

Four self-assembled monolayer surfaces terminated with–COOH,–OH,–NH2 and–CH3
functional groups are used to direct the biomineralization processes of calcium carbonate …

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 …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a key precursor of crystalline CaCO3 biominerals
and biomimetic materials. Despite recent extensive research, its formation and amorphous …

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 …

Aggregation‐based crystal growth often gives rise to crystals with complex morphologies
which cannot be generated via classical growth processes. Despite this, understanding of …

The presence of additives has demonstrated strong effects on the crystallization and
morphology of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). To understand the mediating function of …

Calcium carbonate nanoparticles were generated beneath the Langmuir monolayer of
bovine serum albumin (BSA) via templated mineralization. The BSA monolayer and calcium …
