Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas (Research in a proposed research area)
Biominerals are inorganic-organic composites based on abundant resources. The molecular-controlled processes produce the hierarchically organized structures with sophisticated properties. Aim of the present project is synthesis and functional exploration of mesocrystals as a fusion material. A variety of oriented nanocrystals, such as mesocrystals, were prepared through the molecular-controlled crystal growth inspired by biomineralization. The resultant mesocrystals showed versatile properties based on the characteristic structures.
