Exploring the influence of organic species on pre- and post-nucleation calcium carbonate

Organic additives are well known to influence the nucleation and growth of minerals. A combination of experimental and theoretical methods has been used to probe how three simple additives, containing varying numbers of carboxylate groups, influence the early stages of the growth of calcium carbonat...
