In this paper experimental results are reported on the effects of anionic polyelectrolytes
(polyaspartate and polymaleic acid) on the formation of calcium carbonate on a metallic
substrate. An experimental procedure which permits the in situ and real-time growth of
particles in the micrometric range to be followed was used. By using image analysis, the
determination of the morphometric parameters of crystals was done. Jointly, an adsorption
study of the polyelectrolytes on calcite was conducted to complement the study of the …
