受生物启发模拟合成生物矿物材料及其机理研究进展

Nature produces a wide variety of complex mineral superstructures with special functionalties, many of which are simple inorganic salts. How to synthesize functional mineral materials by biomimetic stratgies, becomes one of the key issues for material science and materials chemistry. As a common mineral in Nature, calcium carbonate widely exists in biology and geology, and it plays an important role in organisms. Because mineralization reaction usually occurs in the presence of a template (or matrix) and in a solution. Recent progress in mineralization of calcium carbonates and other minerals will be overviewed with focus on both using soft and hard templates.
