Surface Chemistry Sorts Nanoparticles Inside Growing Calcite Crystals

Researchers showed that surface chemistry directs two types of diblock copolymer nanoparticles into separate core and near-surface regions of growing calcite crystals. Calcium-dependent colloidal stability and polymer–mineral interactions also enabled sequential nanoparticle release during acid-triggered crystal dissolution.
