Exploring the effect of poly(acrylic acid) on pre- and post-nucleation BaSO4 species: New insights into the mechanisms of crystallization control by polyelectrolytes
Barium sulphate (BaSO4) precipitation has been suggested to occur by non-classical pathways that include the formation of a dense liquid precursor phase, nucleation of primary nanoparticles and two levels of oriented aggregation resulting in micron-sized barite single crystals. In this study we buil...
