“…To develop methods for preparation of new CaCO 3 polymer hybrid materials, a fundamental understanding of binding kinetics and mechanisms of crystallization in organic polymer-Ca 2 þ complexes are required. [7][8][9][10][11] Among various methods for preparation of CaCO 3 polymer hybrid materials, carbonate-controlled addition is a way to control the mineralization of CaCO 3 by simply changing the incubation time of the polymerCa 2 þ complexation process in aqueous solutions before addition of CO 3 2 À ions. 12 We showed that the carbonate-controlled addition method using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) resulted in the formation of stable amorphous calcium carbonate composite particles.…”

Size-controlled CaCO 3 particles were obtained using a carbonate-controlled addition method with a carboxylate-terminated hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) (HYPAM-ONa). The crystalline phase of CaCO 3 particles was determined to be thermodynamically unstable vaterite. The average size of the CaCO 3 particles decreased from 1.3 ± 0.2 to 0.36 ± 0.18 mm with an increase in the incubation time of HYPAM-ONa-Ca 2 þ solution from 3 min to 72 h. Interactions of the CaCO 3 particles in aqueous dispersions with different types of commercially available ionic polymers that is, poly(acrylic acid), poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate), poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and poly(arylamine) (PAAM) were studied. Surface coating of the CaCO 3 particles with PAAM, an aqueous dispersion, was successfully achieved by the addition of a specified concentration of the polymer. The surface-coated CaCO 3 particles with gold nanoparticles were obtained by addition of an aqueous solution of gold nanoparticles stabilized with HYPAM-ONa to an aqueous dispersion of the CaCO 3 particles and subsequent addition of HAuCl 4 and formaldehyde as a reducing agent.

“…[11] Many follow-up studies investigated the hard-soft interactions during the templating process using model systems such as Langmuir monolayers [12] and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). [13] These studies showed that, although epitaxial relations between template and mineral may play a role, they are not a strict requirement, [14] and moreover that the mutual adaptation of template and mineral make it difficult to predict the outcome of the nucleation process. [15] Another important insight into biomineralization mechanisms was the realization that many biological crystals are formed through an amorphous precursor phase that was first deposited within the templating structure and molded into the desired shape before crystallization occurs.…”

Hybrid materials are at the forefront of modern research and technology; hence a large number of publications on hybrid materials has already appeared in the scientific literature. This essay focuses on the specifics and peculiarities of hybrid materials based on two‐dimensional (2D) building blocks and confinements, for two reasons: (1) 2D materials have a very broad field of application, but they also illustrate many of the scientific challenges the community faces, both on a fundamental and an application level; (2) all authors of this essay are involved in research on 2D materials, but their perspective and vision of how the field will develop in the future and how it is possible to benefit from these new developments are rooted in very different scientific subfields. The current article will thus present a personal, yet quite broad, account of how hybrid materials, specifically 2D hybrid materials, will provide means to aid modern societies in fields as different as healthcare and energy.

“…[1][2][3] The morphology of composites based on crystals and polymers can be controlled by a variety of methods. [4][5][6] Here we show a new method for morphological control through phase separation induced by simultaneous polymerization and crystallization. This phase separation led to segregated domains of a redox-active quinone crystal and a conductive polymer on the submicrometer scale ( Figure 1).…”

Phase separation of composite materials through simultaneous polymerization and crystallization

Composite materials have attracted much interest because of the emergent properties originating from the components. A variety of methods have been studied to control the morphology of composites based on noncrystalline polymers and crystalline materials. However, it is not easy to control complex morphologies, such as segregated sea-island structures, on the submicrometer scale. Polymerization induces crystallization, because supersaturation, which is required for crystallization, is achieved by the consumption of the monomer. Here we report a phase-separation approach based on simultaneous polymerization and crystallization as a new method for the morphological control of composite materials. Segregated polymer and organic crystal domains are obtained by polymerization of an organic monomer solution accompanied by simultaneous crystallization. The phase separation induced the generation of composite materials consisting of a redox-active quinone crystal and conductive polymer with a segregated structure on the submicrometer scale. The segregated composite of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and polypyrrole showed enhanced charge-storage properties based on the smooth redox reaction. The present phase-separation approach can be applied to a variety of functional segregated composite materials consisting of crystalline and polymer materials.
