Effects of Mg and Hydrogel Solid Content on the Crystallization of Calcium Carbonate in Biomimetic Counter-diffusion Systems

Abstract: Carbonate biominerals are nanocomposites with an intimate association of organic and mineral components. Here we investigate the crystallization of CaCO 3 in gelatin hydrogels (2.5 and 10 wt % solid content) in the presence of Mg (0.01 M) in the growth medium. The precipitate consisted mainly of calcite in all experiments. A wide variety of morphologies and incorporated Mg contents (up to 26 mol % in sphere-like aggregates grown in 10 wt % gelatin) was observed. Etching experiments uncovered an intimate relati… Show more

“…Other interpretations include the mineralization of proteinaceous spheroids produced by tissue decay (Schieber & Arnott, 2003) or a by-product of the preparation procedure (Folk & Lynch, 1997). The viscosity of organic polymers and presence of Mg 2+ in carbonate has been suggested to be responsible for the spherical morphology (Meldrum & Hyde, 2001;Braissant et al, 2003;Meister et al, 2011b;Nindiyasari et al, 2014). Template-directed calcium carbonate formation in solution has been also found to start with the nucleation of amorphous nanoparticles (Pouget et al, 2009).…”

“…As explained in the previous section for calcite/silica gel composites, the incorporation of Mg into calcite induces lattice strain which is released through the formation of dislocations (Nindiyasari et al, 2014b(Nindiyasari et al, , 2015. The amount of Mg incorporated into calcite is up to~5 times higher in gelatin than in silica gel.…”

“…The MUD value is defined as the multiple of uniform (random) orientation (Kocks et al, 2000). A calcite single crystal precipitated from solution, devoid of any gel, has a MUD value of 725 (Kim et al, 2014;Nindiyasari et al, 2014b, Greiner et al, 2018. The mesocrystalline calcite grown in silica and gelatin gels shows a mainly single-crystal-like co-orientation despite the gel occlusion.…”
