Features: This book begins with the morphology and structural characteristics of biomaterials, discussing fundamental principles in the field of biomineralization, such as lattice matching, molecular models, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, heterogeneous nucleation theory, spatial positioning and confinement. It particularly focuses on the widely recognized "organic matrix-mediated mineralization" in the field of biomineralization. The book also elaborates on the processes and inhibition of pathological mineralization in vivo (e.g., urinary stones, gallstones, and atherosclerosis). It highlights the latest achievements in biomineralization research across various simulation systems, including DNA templates, polysaccharide templates, protein templates, bacterial templates, single-molecule membranes, LB membranes, vesicles, micelles, reverse micelles, microemulsions, and self-assembled membrane systems. Additionally, it introduces the preparation methods of biomimetic materials (i.e., organic/inorganic composites) based on biomineralization principles.
The book is characterized by its clear and progressive approach, combining popular science with professional content. It uses vivid examples to describe the fundamental issues in the fields of biomineralization and biomimetic materials, making it suitable as a teaching text for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in chemistry, materials science, biology, medicine, geology, and mineralogy. It can also serve as a reference for researchers in this field.
