Abstract
⺠CaCO3 has been grown on organic films consisting of polyelectrolytes and phospholipids. ⺠The charge of the phospholipid head group drives the binding of the polyelectrolytes. ⺠Randomly coiled polyelectrolytes guide the formation of CaCO3 continuous films. ⺠Helical conformation of the polyelectrolyte chains lead to the formation of isolated CaCO3 crystals. ⺠The type of the phospholipid polar head drives the formation of CaCO3 polymorphs.
