Liesegang patterns in traditional sticky rice-lime mortar undergoing carbonation were investigated by means of FTIR, XRD and SEM. Results indicate that well-developed Liesegang patterns only occur in the mortar prepared with aged lime and sticky rice. The smaller Ca(OH)2 particle size in aged lime and the control of the sticky rice for the crystallization of calcium carbonate lead to the small pores in this mortar. These small pores can make Ca2+ and CO3(2-) highly supersaturated, which explains the reason why Liesegang pattern developed in the sticky rice-aged lime mortar. The formed metastable aragonite proves that Liesegang pattern could be explained based on the post-nucleation theory.

Liesegang patterns present a display of parallel stripes of precipitate that arise from the interdiffusion of coprecipitate ions in a gel medium. The bands observed in rocks are typical analogies of this phenomenon, and their composition is not restricted to the banded deposition of a single mineral. We here extend the study to a three-precipitate system, wherein Co, Ni, and Cd cations are precipitated by the same anion (OH from NHOH) to form Co(OH), Ni(OH), and Cd(OH), respectively.

Recently, we have investigated the enzyme-assisted self-assembly of precursor peptides diffusing in an enzyme-containing host gel, leading to various self-assembly profiles within the gel. At high enzyme concentrations, the reaction-diffusion self-assembly processes result in the formation of a continuous non-monotonous peptide self-assembly profile. At low enzyme concentrations, they result in the formation of individual self-assembled peptide microglobules and at intermediate enzyme concentrations both kinds of self-assembled structures coexist.

Pattern formation is a ubiquitous phenomenon in animate and inanimate systems generated by mass transport and reaction of chemical species. The Liesegang phenomenon is a self-organized periodic precipitation pattern always studied in porous media such as hydrogels and aerogels for over a century. The primary consideration of applying the porous media is to prevent the disintegration of the precipitation structures due to the sedimentation of the precipitate and induced fluid flow.

The Liesegang pattern is a beautiful natural anisotropic patterning phenomenon observed in rocks and sandstones. This study reveals that the Liesegang pattern can induce nonlinear elasticity. Here, a Liesegang-patterned complex with biomineral-hydrogel repetitive layers is prepared.

In the ancient Chinese recipe for composite mortar used in the construction of ground layers for architectural painting, the mixture of porcine blood and lime water is one of the constituent materials. Herein, according to the traditional recipe, the interaction between porcine blood and lime water was systematically and deeply investigated. The experimental investigation demonstrated that porcine blood mixed with lime water at the ratio found in the recipe can form a hydrogel with a hydrophobic surface.
