چکیده
Calcium carbonate (vaterite) nanoparticles of 20-60 nm size were obtained without stabilizing tensides by heating a dispersion of calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO(3)) in ethylene glycol for 30 minutes at 40 to 100 °C.

Confinement stabilises single crystal vaterite rods.
Single-crystals of vaterite, the least-stable anhydrous polymorph of CaCO3, are rare in biogenic and synthetic systems. We here describe the synthesis of high aspect ratio single crystal vaterite rods under additive-free conditions by precipitating CaCO3 within the cylindrical pores of track-etch membranes.
متن کاملAssembly Synthesis of Sheet-like Calcite Array and Stable- Vaterite by Supported Liquid Membrane
CaCO3 can crystallize as calcite, aragonite and vaterite. Calcite and aragonite are the most common biologically formed CaCO3 polymorphs, and vaterite is transformed into calcite via a solvent mediated process. Calcium carbonate makes an attractive model mineral for studies, since the morphology of CaCO3 has been the subject to control in biomineralization processes. And control of vaterite als...
متن کاملSub-micron Vaterite Containers: Synthesis, Substance Loading, and Release**
Promising candidates for the development of universal nanoscale delivery systems are porous inorganic nanoparticles. Recently, the applications of porous silicon in a multistage delivery system, in polymer coated nanocarriers, and of porous silica as core material for lipid bilayers have attracted great attention. A system with similarly high potential, but less studied so far, is porous calciu...
متن کاملMonodispersed calcium carbonate nanoparticles modulate local pH and inhibit tumor growth in vivo.
The acidic extracellular environment of tumors potentiates their aggressiveness and metastasis, but few methods exist to selectively modulate the extracellular pH (pHe) environment of tumors. Transient flushing of biological systems with alkaline fluids or proton pump inhibitors is impractical and nonselective. Here we report a nanoparticles-based strategy to intentionally modulate the pHe in t...
متن کاملCrystallization of calcium carbonate on chitosan substrates in the presence of regenerated silk fibroin.
The crystallization of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was investigated using a mineralization system composed of a chitosan membrane and regenerated silk fibroin (RSF). Such a system may resemble the mineralization in molluscs, where chitosan is a derivative of chitin and RSF an analogue of nacreous protein. It was found that the vaterite disks generally formed on the chitosan membrane while the ara...
