It was revealed that with increasing the volume fractions of ethanol or isopropanol, the morphology of the CaCO 3 particles generally varies from peanuts through rods to spheres in the presence of the polymer. Specifically, uniform rounded calcite rods, which are about 2 μm in length with an aspect ratio of 2.6, were obtained in the isopropanol solution with volume fraction 50%.展开更多

Barium oxalate crystals with a complex form, such as fan-like aggregates consisting of rod-like BaC 2O 4·H 2O crystals and spherical aggregates consisting of flake-like BaC 2O 4·3.5H 2O crystals were readily produced in aqueous solutions of PEG-b-PMMA. This result may provide an effective method for controlling the morphology and polymorph of inorganic crystals.展开更多
