Abstract

Nanocrystal superstructures of barium carbonate (BaCO3) which exhibit unusual morphologies are obtained by the carbon dioxide vapor diffusion technique in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-eicosa aspartate (PEO-b-Asp20). The highly effective bioconjugate acts as a crystal growth modifier over a broad range of concentrations. Instead of commonly observed branched needles, the morphology can be systematically varied along different twinned growth patterns towards well-defined branched dumbbells. Detailed analysis of the crystal substructures with high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) discloses a potential growth mechanism of the superstructures and reveals the role of the polymeric bioconjugate therein.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
