Calcium Carbonate is a chemical compound having the chemical formula CaCO3. It is a white and insoluble powder-like substance that occurs naturally in minerals, marble, chalk, limestone, shells, calcite, pearl, and other related compounds. Medicinally, we use it as an antacid or a calcium supplement. It can also be used as cosmetics fillers.

The ultrathin sections of the developing otolith of mouse fetuses 15.5 days to 20 days after birth were observed with the aid of the electron microscope. The first step of otolith formation is an aggregation of organic clusters observed in the sacculus of the 15.5-day fetus. These organic structures are modified and assume a hexagonal shape in ...

Introduction The mineral shells of a variety of molluscs are composite biomaterials consisting of crystals of calcium carbonate (CaC[O.sub.3]) intercalated with organic materials, primarily proteins and glycoproteins (reviewed in Wilbur, 1972; Towe, 1972; Watabe, 1981; Weiner, 1986; Simkiss and Wilbur, 1989; Lowenstam and Weiner, 1989).

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an excellent method for characterizing the topography of polymer films and artifacts, as well as many other features. In this aspect, AFM offers significant benefits over electron microscopy. For example, because most polymers are insulators, they would need to be coated for SEM examination, perhaps affecting their texture. AFM, unlike TEM, does not require a ...

Calcite-solution reactions (growth, dissolution and replacement) are critical in a range of both engineering and natural processes. Classical crystal growth theory relates calcite growth rates to the degree of supersaturation. The solution composition may also affect the growth rate of carbonate minerals, via the Ca to CO2− 3 concentration ratio (Nehrke et al., 2007; Perdikouri et al., 2009 ...
