Formation of calcium carbonate nanoparticles through the assembling effect of glucose and the influence on the properties of PDMS.

In order to prepare calcium carbonate nanoparticles in a green and environmentally friendly way, the concept of bio-mineralization has been proposed. Glucose, as a common small molecular organic substance found in organisms, participates in the mineralization process in cells. By adding glucose as a chemical additive, long chains of calcium carbonate form at the initial stage and then break granularly over-carbonation.
