Preparation of hexagonal GeO2 particles with particle size and crystallinity controlled by peptides, silk and silk-peptide chimeras
Abstract
Synthesis of α-quartz like (hexagonal) GeO2 by a biomimetic approach using peptides, silk and silk-peptide chimeras to control precipitation yield, particle morphology, size and crystallinity of the mineral.
