Additives: Their Influence on the Humidity- and Pressure-Induced Crystallization of Amorphous CaCO3

Camelia Borca, Alan Böhlen, Huachuan Du, Esther Amstad, Mathias Steinacher, Clémence Courrégelongue

Nature possesses a unique control over the formation of CaCO3 crystals that imparts fascinating mechanical properties to many CaCO3-based biomaterials. This high level of control is, at least in part, achieved through the use of certain soluble additives t ...

Amorphous CaCO3: Influence of the Formation Time on Its Degree of Hydration and Stability

Camelia Borca, Francesco Stellacci, Huachuan Du, Esther Amstad, Anna Murello, Mathias Steinacher

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most abundant biominerals that is prevalent in rocks and often used as a structural material in marine animals. Many of these natural CaCO3-based materials display excellent mechanical properties that are difficult t ...
