How Can Additives Control the Early Stages of Mineralisation?

How Can Additives Control the Early Stages of Mineralisation?

The interactions between additives and mineral precursors and intermediates are at the heart of additive-controlled crystallisation, which is of high importance for various fields. In this commentary, we reflect on potential modes of additive control according to classical nucleation theory on one h...
