Well-defined star-shaped calcite crystals formed in agarose gels.

چکیده
Single crystals of calcite exhibiting a morphology of well-defined 8-armed stars, which evolved from original rhombohedral calcite crystals with their 8 points extending radially into eight arms, were produced by crystallization of CaCO3 in agarose gels.

Formation of rod-shaped calcite crystals by microemulsion-based synthesis.
Novel rod-shaped calcite crystals are formed by precipitation from cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/1-pentanol/cyclohexane microemulsions containing calcium chloride and ammonium carbonate. The calcium carbonate initially precipitates as hexagon-shaped vaterite crystals. The vaterite crystals transform to unusual rod-shaped calcite crystals over several days. The rod-shaped calcite crystal...
متن کاملThe Effect of Additives on the Early Stages of Growth of Calcite Single Crystals
As crystallization processes are often rapid, it can be difficult to monitor their growth mechanisms. In this study, we made use of the fact that crystallization proceeds more slowly in small volumes than in bulk solution to investigate the effects of the soluble additives Mg2+ and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) on the early stages of growth of calcite crystals. Using a "Crystal Hotel" microflui...
متن کاملMicromorphology of authigenic celestobarite in a duripan from central Australia
The micromorphology and elemental composition of celestobarite crystals in a duripan from central Australia are examined. These crystals are flabellate (fan-shaped), have a Ba/Sr ratio of 11.1, and are up to 50 p.m in size. The location of the celestobarite crystals within silicified roots and in close association with calcite and clay coatings indicates that these celestobarite crystals are au...
متن کاملBiomineral/Agarose Composite Gels Enhance Proliferation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Osteogenic Capability
Hydroxyapatite (HA) or calcium carbonate (CaCO3) formed on an organic polymer of agarose gel is a biomaterial that can be used for bone tissue regeneration. However, in critical bone defects, the regeneration capability of these materials is limited. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into bone forming osteoblasts. In this study, we loaded MSCs on HA- or ...
متن کاملSynthesis and crystal structures of multifunctional tosylates as basis for star-shaped poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)s
The synthesis of well-defined polymer architectures is of major importance for the development of complex functional materials. In this contribution, we discuss the synthesis of a range of multifunctional star-shaped tosylates as potential initiators for the living cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of 2-oxazolines resulting in star-shaped polymers. The synthesis of the tosylates was p...
