Biomimetic nucleation and growth of CaCO3 in hydrogels incorporating carboxylate groups

Poly-acrylamide hydrogels were modified by copolymerization with acrylic acid and used as growth medium for CaCO3 in a double-diffusion arrangement. The carboxylate functionalities in the gel network facilitate the nucleation of a multitude of small crystallites of vaterite and calcite, which are te...
