Bioinspired Nanocomposites: 2D Materials Within a 3D Lattice
Matteo Di Giosia, Iryna Polishchuk, Eva Weber +8
Advanced composites are used in a variety of industrial applications and therefore attract much scientific interest. Here we describe the formation of novel carbon-based nanocompos…
Synthesis of calcium carbonate in trace water environments
Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Boaz Pokroy +3
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was synthesized from diverse water-free alcohol solutions, resulting in the formation of vaterite and calcite precipitates, or stable particle supensions,…
Insights on the interaction of calcein with calcium carbonate and its implications in biomineralization studies
Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Jonathan Erez +3
The effects of calcein, a marker commonly used to assess mineral growth in calcifying organism, on calcite and aragonite structure have been investigated. Calcein is entrapped with…
Effect of surface chemistry on incorporation of nanoparticles within calcite single crystals
Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Francesco Palomba +5
Inclusion of additives into calcite crystals allows one to embed non-native proprieties into the inorganic matrix and obtain new functional materials. Up to now, few parameters hav…
Photocatalytic activity of exfoliated graphite-TiO nanocomposites
Gloria Guidetti, Eva A. A. Pogna, Lucia Lombardi +16
We investigate the photocatalytic performance of nanocomposites prepared in a one-step process by liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite in the presence of TiO nanoparticles (NPs…
Calcite single crystals as hosts for atomic-scale entrapment and slow release of drugs
Giulia Magnabosco, Matteo Di Giosia, Iryna Polishchuk +8
This study presents a complete structural and biological characterization of Doxorubicin CaCO3 single crystals as a pH responsive drug carrier. Using a biomimetic approach, it was…
