Colloidal pathways of amorphous calcium carbonate formation lead to distinct water environments and conductivity

Abstract CaCO3 is the most abundant biomineral and a major constituent of incrustations arising from water hardness. Polycarboxylates play key roles in controlling mineralization. Herein, we present an analytical and spectroscopic study of polycarboxylate-stabilized amorphous CaCO3 (ACC) and its for...
