Abstract
The cover picture shows the process of calcium carbonate mineralization on dendrimer/octadecylamine aggregates. Amphiphilic dendrimers complex octadecylamine to form polyhedral aggregates. These aggregates template the formation and stabilization of amorphous calcium carbonate, which normally transforms into a crystalline phase within four hours. In a secondary growth process, hybrid particles are formed in which the amorphous particles are embedded within a crystalline phase. For more details see the article by N. A. J. M. Sommerdijk et al. on p. 2561 ff.
