title: Room temperature vortex fluidic synthesis of monodispersed amorphous proto-vaterite.
abstract: Monodispersed particles of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) 90 to 200 nm in diameter are accessible at room temperature in ethylene glycol and water using a vortex fluidic device (VFD). The ACC material is stable for at least two weeks under ambient conditions.
