Abstract

The proposed sol-gel synthesis of CaCO3 proved to create unprecedented size of CaCO3 nanoparticles with striking size uniformity. The obtained results clearly demonstrate their ability to incorporate hydrophobic components in a nanocomposite matrix converting them into amorphous nano sized particles, building stable colloids via release in acidic medium. Transfer of a sol produced in organic medium into water in the presence of albumen surfactant results in relatively uniform micro particles about 1μm size. The obtained materials show characteristics attractive for use in drug delivery and potentially also a variety of other industrial applications.
