Biomineralization has been widely studied to control and understand its mechanism in natural-synthetic systems. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most abundant and important biominerals present in the natural environment. Many additives including polymer and protein, are studied for self-assembly of CaCO3 for various morphologies and applications because of their several advantages. Under natural conditions, however, the formation of CaCO3 occurs slowly.Herein, We designed several functionalized materials based on the hyperbranched polymer (HBP) which affects the formation of CaCO3 crystalline structure. In particular, through an optical microscope combined with a microfluidic device, the pattern and rate of initial stage crystal growth and the morphology of the final crystal phase will be statistically calculated and derived in situ. Finally, we have a plan to developing a system that can accelerate CaCO3 formation and systematic analysis. |
