In this investigation, chitosan membranes with different surface average degrees of deacetylation (DA) are prepared and then are employed as the support matrix to culture calcium carbonate (CaCO3). In the presence of high concentration of polyacrylic acid (PAA), the CaCO3 films obtained on the surface of all chitosan films mainly consisted of vaterite, which suggests the presence of bulk PAA plays an overwhelming part in stabilizing the vaterite. As a comparison, the influences of active groups indicate that only in case of low concentration PAA the thin CaCO3 films grown on chitosan with 8% DA mainly consisted of vaterite owing to the strong nucleation ability of –NH2 group, whereas, for those grown on chitosan with 80% DA the CaCO3 films mainly consisted of aragonite. A more complex scenario revealed that in the case of intermediate concentration of PAA the formed polymorphs behave as mixtures of vaterite and aragonite.
Chitosan membranes with different degrees of deacetylation (DA) are employed as support to culture calcium carbonate (CaCO3). In high concentration of polyacrylic acid (PAA), the CaCO3 films obtained consisted of vaterite. However, the CaCO3 film grown on chitosan with 8% DA mainly consisted of vaterite as opposed to aragonite for chitosan with 8% DA.The schematic presentation of the formation of calcium carbonate on chitosan films with different degrees of acetylation in the presence of PAA with low-, mid- and high concentrations.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
