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

Nature is adept at controlling mineralisation processes to produce single crystals and
polycrystalline and amorphous structures with remarkable morphologies and mechanical …

Increasing environmental pollution in urban areas has been endangering the survival of
carbonate stones in monuments and statuary for many decades. Numerous conservation …

We have put forth the hypothesis that collagen is mineralized during bone formation by
means of a polymer-induced liquid-precursor (PILP) process, in which a liquid-phase …

The kinetics of vaterite (CaCO3) crystallization on calcite in the presence of the aminoacids
alanine, glycine, lysine as well as on lysine, polyglycine, polytyrosine and polymethionine …

Former studies have demonstrated a strong interest toward the crystallization of CaCO3
polymorphs in solution. Nowadays, CaCO3 crystallization on solid surfaces is extensively …

By employing ethylene glycol, 1, 2-propanediol and glycerin as the solvents, reaction of
calcium chloride with urea in a solvothermal condition (100–150° C) produced phase-pure …

The kinetics of vaterite (CaCO3) crystallization on calcite in the presence of glutamic acid
was investigated by the constant composition method. The presence of glutamic acid in the …

The goal of geologic CO2 sequestration is not just to pump large volumes of supercritical
carbon dioxide into underground repositories but to keep it there for hundreds to thousands …

Kinetics of precipitation of calcite (CaCO3) from aqueous solution in the presence of
carboxymethyl inulin (CMI) was investigated under strictly controlled temperature, pH …
