Bioinspired composite materials: sorbents for chromatography, bone-like structures and substrates for cell cultures

Аннотация

Simulation of calcium and silicon biomineralization made it possible to obtain various composite particles containing an inorganic component and an organic polymer. These particles exist in a variety of forms, from stable aqueous dispersions to solid materials. New composite materials are promising for creating functionalized coatings and three-dimensional structures of different morphology. We prepared composites of calcium carbonate and phosphate by forming an inorganic phase in the presence of water-soluble polymers. The potential of new materials as sorbents for chromatography, 3D bone-like structures, and coatings for cell growth was demonstrated.
