Vaterite is the least thermodynamically stable anhydrous calcium carbonate polymorph. Its
existence is very rare in nature, eg, in some rock formations or as a component of …

Otoliths are calcified structures and the information contained within their chemistry or shape
can be used to infer life history events, migration patterns, and stock structure of a fish …

This article presents an investigation on the application of amino acids to control the CaCO 3
crystallization in carbonation cured wollastonite composites. It was observed that …

The importance of the metastable vaterite form of CaCO3 is increasingly appreciated as an
intermediate between amorphous calcium carbonate and more stable crystalline …

Tangential flow-induced interface erosion poses a major threat to a wide variety of
engineering structures, such as earth-filled embankment dams, and oil-and gas-producing …

Biomineralized vaterite with spherical morphology and a porous surface texture was
subjected as the inert solid support for silver nanoparticles to form a composite material that …

Abstract Changes to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralization in aquatic organisms is
among the many predicted effects of climate change. Because otolith (hearing/orientation …

The modification in lime mortar to preserve the historic structures is the growing trend in
current scenario. The natural polymer, areca nut extract in concentrations of 3% and 5% was …

Abstract Otoliths, calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) ear stones of fish, contain a wealth of
information about fish life and environmental history yet the CaCO 3 polymorph form the …

Vaterite with submicrometer particles was successfully synthesized by adding sucrose at
certain amounts (x= 0–50%) to the aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate ((NH 4) 2 CO …
