Abstract

Langmuir monolayers of DHP were confirmed to induce oriented crystallization of HAp in the present study. Both electrostatic and stereochemical interactions at the inorganic-organic interface were of vital importance for the oriented growth of HAp crystals. Organic surfaces with highly ordered functional groups would in general have potential to catalyze inorganic crystallization in a controlled manner through molecular recognition.
