Abstract

Simply smaller: Sub-micron vaterite particles (see picture) were synthesized modifying the crystal growth parameters. Their porous structure allows the loading and storage of various payloads. The recystallization to calcite in aqueous solutions can be used as a release mechanism. The release can be controlled by the properties of the immersion medium, creating a simple, cost-effective, and versatile system for drug-delivery applications.
