Among the polymorph modifications of calcium carbonate, the metastable vaterite is the
most practically important. Vaterite particles are applied in regenerative medicine, drug …

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

Because free therapeutic drug molecules often have adverse effects on normal tissues,
deliver scanty drug concentrations and exhibit a potentially low efficacy at pathological sites …

Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) has long been used as a delivery system owing to its wide
availability, biocompatibility, and degradability. However, it often suffers from many …

Extensive use of vaterite for encapsulation and drug delivery requires the means for
controlling the size of crystals synthesized via simple mixing of calcium chloride and sodium …

Nanoarchitectonics, like architectonics, allows the design and building of structures, but at
the nanoscale. Unlike those in architectonics, and even macro-, micro-, and atomic-scale …

Carefully designed micro-and nanocarriers can provide significant advantages over
conventional macroscopic counterparts in drug delivery applications. For the successful …

The physico‐chemical properties of colloidal particles determine their uptake into cells. For a
series of microparticles only one parameter, the mechanical stiffness, was varied, whereas …

Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is a relatively new bio-cementation
technique for ground improvement. In EICP, calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) precipitation …

Polymer capsules, fabricated either with the aid of a sacrificial template or via the self-
assembly of block copolymers into polymer vesicles (polymersomes), have attracted a great …
