Abstract

Imitating nature: Different morphologies of linear polyethyleneimine (LPEI) aggregates regulated by monovalent, divalent, and trivalent metal cations act as biomimetic organic reactors for directing the formation of complicated silica structures. LPEI associated with Cu2+ resulted in turbinelike silica; when associated with Al3+ it produced an urchinlike structure (see SEM image; scale bar=20 μm).
