H. Tong et al., Influence of cholesterol on molecular ordered assemble systems of PC/cholesterol and crystal type of CaCO3, CHEM J CH U, 22(2), 2001, pp. 289-292
The CaCO3 were obtained by chemical reaction in different molecular ordered
assemble systems of PC/Cholesterol. X-ray diffraction analyses showed that
there are three types of CaCO3 in these systems: colloid CaCO3, vaterite,
calcite. The cholesterol not only influences the structure of ordered syste
m, but also influences powerfully crystal type of reaction product in these
systems. The calcite decreased with the increase of concentration of chole
sterol. SEM analyses showed that CaCO3 nanoparticles can be synthesized in
PC/ether reverse micell.
