无机材料的仿生合成

生物矿化重要的特征之一是细胞分泌的有机基质调制无机矿物的成核和生长, 形成具有特殊组装方式和多级结构特点的生物矿化材料(如骨、牙和贝壳)。仿生合成就是将生物矿化的机理引入无机材料合成, 以有机物的组装体为模板, 去控制无机物的形成,制备具有独特显微结构特点的无机材料, 使材料具有优异的物理和化学性能。仿生合成已成为无机材料化学的研究前沿。本文综述了无机材料仿生合成的发展现状。

Biomimetic Synthesis of Inorganic Materials

The most important aspects in biomineralization are the controlled nucleation and growth of inorganic minerals from aqueous solutions under the mediation of organic matrix secreted by the cell, and the formation of the biomineralized materials (bone, teeth, shell etc.) with the hierarchical structure and special assembly. Biomimetic synthesis inspired by the biomineralization involves the controlled formation of inorganic materials with organic assembly as template, and the production of inorganic materials with special microstructure and excellent physical and chemical properties. Biomimetic synthesis has now become a promising field in inorganic materials chemistry research. The research status of biomimetic synthesis of inorganic materials is reviewed.
