- This research introduces a simple way for additive-free control over porosity of vaterite crystals as biocompatible precursors in numerous bioapplications. The work was recognised by a Best Poster Award at the Global Congress on Biotechnology (2019, Berlin), featured in opening keynote lecture “Biomaterial coatings made of polymer multilayers in 2D and 3D” at the international workshop “Prevention of microbial contamination of biomaterials for tissue regeneration and wound healing” (2018, Lancaster, t.douglas@lancaster.ac.uk), and has been referred to as a significant method to control pores in bio-sacrificial templates in a recent, comprehensive review (doi.org:10.1016/j.pmatsci.2017.08.002).
