Abstract
The precipitation of calcium carbonate in alkaline silica solutions results in the formation of complex curvilinear forms if aragonite formation is encouraged by growth at an elevated temperature (80 degrees C). The resulting coralline self-assembled silica-calcium carbonate particles are "biomorphs", bearing a striking resemblance to natural coral forms. These materials, comprised of calcium ...
