“…Crystallization of CC in the presence of DNA was studied by Kato et al 19 who reported crystallizing CC by bubbling CO 2 into supersaturated calcium bicarbonate solutions containing DNA from salmon sperm; the result of this procedure was termed "spherical calcite".…”

Two-dimensional DNA lattices are grown under conditions that also are suitable for the magnesium-free growth of three-dimensional calcium carbonate crystals. These lattices are used to template morphology changes in calcium carbonate. The effects of DNA lattices, sub-assemblies, duplexes, single strands, dinucleotides, and mononucleotides on calcium carbonate morphology are studied. A "rotated" morphology of calcite is found to predominate when a critical concentration of any polynucleotide is reached in the templating solution.

“…9 The cooperative involvement of insoluble and soluble macromolecules during crystallization of inorganic compounds seems to be a general strategy in biomineralization. 1 Nacre formation was mimicked by Kato et al [10][11][12][13][14] to synthesize polymer-CaCO 3 thin film composites. The combination of an insoluble solid matrix with soluble acidic macromolecules induces thin film crystallization of CaCO 3 on the matrix (Figures 1c and d).…”

It is increasingly important that we learn how to fabricate materials in environmentally friendly ways using common resources that are abundant in nature. Biomineralization, the process by which living organisms create a variety of sophisticated composites, such as bone and shell, is an ideal model for such fabrication. This article reviews recent progress toward the synthesis of polymer-inorganic composite materials inspired by biomineralization. In particular, three reaction systems are focused upon: (1) polymer-calcium carbonate thin film composites synthesized by interaction among insoluble polymer, soluble acidic polymer, and inorganic ions, (2) polymer nanogel-calcium phosphate composite nanoparticles synthesized on scaffolds of hydrogel nanoparticles and (3) colloidal silica nanoparticles made to self-assemble into anisotropic chain-like structures by interaction with block copolymers. All these reaction systems involve aqueous environments at ambient temperature and pressure.

“…This is called the template-inhibition strategy, and it consists of the mineral deposition from solution onto a well-ordered two-dimensional structure of a self-assembled film on solid or liquid substrates (Li & Kaplan 2003). Kato et al (Kato et al 1998;Kato & Amamiya 1999;Hosoda & Kato 2001) successfully applied the template/inhibition strategy to develop thin-film crystals of CaCO 3 to chitosan (which acts as a solid matrix in the presence of PAA or poly(glycolic acid) as a soluble additive), cellulose and chitin films (on chitin fibres from CaCO 3 solution in the presence of an acid-rich macromolecule). The crystal growth from CaCO 3 solutions containing poly(acrylic acid) as a soluble acidic polymer results in the formation of CaCO 3 thin-film crystals approximately 0.8 mm in thickness on these solid matrixes.…”

The micro-architecture of nacre (mother of pearl) has been classically illustrated as a 'brick-and-mortar' arrangement. It is clear now that hierarchical organization and other structural features play an important role in the amazing mechanical properties of this natural nanocomposite. The more important structural characteristics and mechanical properties of nacre are exposed as a base that has inspired scientists and engineers to develop biomimetic strategies that could be useful in areas such as materials science, biomaterials development and nanotechnology. A strong emphasis is given on the latest advances on the synthetic design and production of nacre-inspired materials and coatings, in particular to be used in biomedical applications.
