It is of practical and theoretical importance to understand how physico-chemical factors
influence the mechanisms of calcium carbonate crystallization. The present paper focuses
on the effect of the nature of metallic substrates (stainless steel, soft steel and copper) in the
nucleation/growth process of electrochemically deposited calcium carbonate. An in situ
experimental procedure based on image analysis was used to observe and characterize the
crystals on the polarized surface: their number, the surface coverage and several …
