Templating effect of silk fibers in the oriented deposition of aragonite
Literature Information
Cheng Cheng, Yuhong Yang, Xin Chen, Zhengzhong Shao
Controlled deposition of calcium carbonate crystals can be obtained on degummed Bombyx mori silk fibers through the use of a silk fibroin solution; aragonite crystallites are found on the surface of the fiber with consistent orientation along the longitudinal axis; the results indicate that the combination of the ordered surface structure on the silk fiber and the directing-effect of silk fibroin solution are the key factors in the orientative deposition process of the mineral.
