Growth modification of seeded calcite using carboxylic acids: Atomistic simulations

Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate possible explanations for experimentallyobserved differences in the growth modification of calcite particles by two organic additives, polyacrylicacid (PAA) and polyaspartic acid (p-ASP). The more rigid backbone of p-ASP was found to inhibit th...
