Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Mar 7:(9):1106-8. doi: 10.1039/b817048g. Epub 2009 Jan 8.

Abstract

A facile biomimetic method is reported for the synthesis of novel BaCO(3) nanofibres with double-stranded and cylindrical helical morphologies via a phosphonated block co-polymer-controlled mineralization process.
