| Abstract | Fabrication of homogenous CaCO3 particles is a significant step in assembling polyelectrolyte capsules. It is crucial to control the dimensions, the shape and the charge of the calcium carbonate particles in order to have homogenously separated and charged templates as final result. For this reason, previously. hey have been deeply investigated. Recently, crystallization of CaCO3 was done by adding poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) as negatively charged polymer and poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) as positively charged polymer and the results were surprising. The homogenous particles were separated and they carried the same charge of the used polymer. The aim of this work was to investigate the synthesis process of CaCO3 particles in different experimental conditions: calcium carbonate was produced in presence and in absence of water and with addition of appropriate polymers. In particular, chitosan (CHI) and poly acrylic acid (PAA) were chosen as biodegradable polymers whereas PSS and PAH were chosen as non-biodegradable polymers. Shape and diameter of particles were investigated by using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, elemental composition was inferred by energy dispersive X-ray analyses whereas their charges were explored by using zeta potential. |
