Dependence of sub-micron vaterite container release properties on pH and ionic strength of the surrounding solution [PDF]
We report on the synthesis and characterization of porous monodisperse vaterite containers with controllable average sizes from 400 nm to 10 mu m. Possible release strategies of enclosed substances via recrystallization or by pH-change are presented.

Enhanced Vaterite And Aragonite Crystallization At Controlled Ethylene Glycol Concentrations
Calciumcarbonate (CaCO3) has three distinct anhydrous polymorphs, namelyvaterite, aragonite and calcite. Although there is a high demand for aragoniteand vaterite polymorphs for biomedical use, their unstable nature makes itchallenging to synthesize them

Distal urethral obstruction in an eight‐week‐old colt with struvite urolithiasis
Summary An 8‐week‐old Thoroughbred colt presented with acute colic signs. Physical examination and transcutaneous ultrasound of the abdomen and penis revealed a urinary tract obstruction in the distal urethra due to urolithiasis. A distal urethrotomy over the site of obstruction was performed to remove the urolith and relieve the obstruction.

Effects of temperature, pH and calcium-to-carbonate ratio on the calcium carbonate polymorphs
The precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) polymorphs (calcite, vaterite, and aragonite) plays a crucial role in tailoring the physicochemical properties of construction materials during mineral carbonation.

Cold Sintering of Calcite: A Low‐Temperature Method for the Fabrication of Artificial Marble
Comparison of the hardness of cold and conventionally sintered calcite with artificial marble. ABSTRACT This study presents a novel approach for the low‐temperature fabrication of dense calcite (CaCO3) without the use of a carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere.

New calcium carbonate-based cements for bone reconstruction [PDF]
The feasibility of calcium carbonate-based cements involving the re-crystallization of metastable calcium carbonate varieties has been demonstrated. Two cement compositions were obtained by mixing either calcium carbonate phases (cement A) or a calcium ...

Influence of relative humidity on the carbonation of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles and the formation of calcium carbonate polymorphs [PDF]
A consolidating product based on nanoparticles of slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) dispersed in isopropyl alcohol was exposed under different relative humidities (RH), 33%, 54%, 75% and 90% during 7, 14, 21 and 28days.
