Morphology and size control of calcium carbonate crystallized in a reverse micelle system with switchable surfactants
Abstract
A series of CaCO3 particles with different morphologies, such as rhombohedron, sphere, and dendrite-like, were successfully prepared in CO2/N2 switchable surfactant (N′-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl acetamidine bicarbonate) reverse micelles.
