    Abstract

    The crystn. of inorg. materials using polymers as templates is an interesting method to prep. composite materials with unique properties. Poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers are well-defined and highly-branched macromols. with regular and easily modifiable surfaces. Polyhedral aggregates from amphiphilic dendrimers were used as templates for the pptn. of amorphous calcium carbonate spheres. The subsequent growth modification of calcite induced by these spheres leads to the coexistence of amorphous and cryst. forms of calcium carbonate. [on SciFinder (R)]
