Abstract

Biomimetic mineralization is a powerful approach for the synthesis of advanced materials with complex shape, hierarchical organization and controlled size, shape and polymorph under ambient conditions in aqueous environments. Increased understanding of biomineralization mechanisms has greatly enhanced the possibilities of biomimetic mineralization approaches. This overview tries to capture the concepts and recent progress in this rapidly developing field.
