The formation of CSH in cementitious materials is critical to their gain in strength. As one of
the key parameters, pH is reported to affect the nucleation and growth of CSH; however, the …

Calcium-based (CaXs) biomaterials including calcium phosphates, calcium carbonates,
calcium silicate and calcium fluoride have been widely utilized in the biomedical field owing …

Biodegradable inorganic drug nanocarriers are widely investigated for efficient drug delivery
with enhanced bioavailability and reduced side effects. An ideal drug nanocarrier should …

In many biomedical applications, drugs need to be delivered in response to the pH value in
the body. In fact, it is desirable if the drugs can be administered in a controlled manner that …

Microstructures of calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H) are relevant to the mechanical
properties and durability of cement-based materials. Random growth of the microstructures …

Europium ion-activated calcium silicate phosphors (Ca2SiO4: Eu3+) with sharp red-light
emission were fabricated via the hydrothermal method. The size of Ca2SiO4: Eu3+ …
