Additives play a decisive role in crystallization processes. We survey the ongoing efforts in
the realm of additive-controlled crystallization. Emphasis is placed on the commonly used …

Vaterite with different morphologies, a thermodynamically unstable polymorph of calcium
carbonate, was successfully synthesized by a simple injection-precipitation method. The …

Stable monodispersed amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles can be
synthesized in ethanol media by a facile method, and crystallization of ACC is kinetically …

Several strategies have been established for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles with
tunable sizes, morphologies, and magnetic properties. Most of these reports are based on …

Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hybrid composite materials are successfully
synthesized via a biomineralization process that employs poly (dopamine)(PDA), a synthetic …

Several strategies have been established for the synthesis of cobalt oxide nanoparticles with
tunable sizes, morphologies and magnetic properties that involve the use of environmentally …

The formation of minerals in living organisms occurs in crowded microenvironments
generated by the organization of soft matter. Here, we used a biphasic aqueous polymer …

Conducting polymers are interesting materials of technological applications, while the use of
polymers as additives controlling crystal nucleation and growth is a fast growing research …

In this Article, we combine the characters of hyperbranched polymers and the concept of
double-hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC) to design a 3D crystal growth modifier, HPG …

In the biomineralization process, the changes in conformation of organic matrix may be a
widespread phenomenon. Investigation of the structural relationship between organic and …
