Biomimetic Synthesis of Calcium Carbonate in the Sucrose Solution
Asian Journal of Chemistry,
Vol. 22 No. 1 (2010): Vol 22 Issue 1, 2010
Abstract
Many studies showed that saccharides or polysaccharides play an
important role in the process of biomineralization. In this work, sucrose
was used to induce the formation of calcium carbonate. The CaCO3
crystals were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM),
Fourier transform infrared spectrograph (FT-IR) and powder X-ray
diffractometry (XRD). The results showed vaterite formed easily in the
sucrose solution.
