In situ continuous growth formation of synthetic biominerals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Continuous self-assembled growth of both the organic and inorganic components of materials with nacre-like structure is achieved upon mineralisation of chitin and chitosan scaffolds using a combined soaking method and the inclusion of poly(acrylic acid) and chitosan oligomers as additives.

S imple biominerals are composed of complex structures, which often have precise architectural order over several length scales. TIlis amazing architecture contributes to their superior strength and toughness, allowing them to outperform synthetic materials. Biominerals rely heavily on their biological constituents, such as biomacromolecules, for' regulation of mineralization. Pathological mine...
متن کاملOctacalcium phosphate as a precursor in biomineral formation.
What are biominerals and how are they formed? It is usually assumed: (i) that the prototype for most apatitic biominerals is hydroxyapatite (OHAp), Ca5(PO4)3OH; and (ii) that the OHAp structure has been modified by the presence of impurity ions and vacancy defects in specific OHAp lattice sites. The usual answer, at least implicitly, to the second question is that the apatitic mineral is formed...
متن کاملEx-situ studies on calcinations of structural, optical and morphological properties of post-growth nanoparticles CeO2 by HRTEM and SAED
Nanocrystalline particles of Cerium Oxide (CeO2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using Cerium nitrate and Urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. The results revealed that the formation of CeO2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. Well faceted CeO2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation ...

متن کاملCRYSTAL GROWTH. Crystallization by particle attachment in synthetic, biogenic, and geologic environments.
Field and laboratory observations show that crystals commonly form by the addition and attachment of particles that range from multi-ion complexes to fully formed nanoparticles. The particles involved in these nonclassical pathways to crystallization are diverse, in contrast to classical models that consider only the addition of monomeric chemical species. We review progress toward understandin...
