| Abstract
| - Strontianite nanowires have been synthesized on self-assembled monolayers (SAM) in the presence ofpolyacrylate templates. The morphology of this product exhibits characteristic differences from that ofproducts obtained in the absence of polyacrylate. It is demonstrated that the template-induced crystallizationprocess involves the interaction between the SAM surface, polyacrylate (a dissolved polyelectrolyte), andthe cations/anions in solution. By the combination of these components, hierarchically ordered mineralhybrid structures are formed.
