Efecto de nanotubos de carbono como modulares en electrocristalización

The book "Effect of Carbon Nanotubes as Modulators in Electrocrystallization" offers a comprehensive examination of the role of carbon nanotubes in the electrocrystallization of calcium oxalate (CaOx). It highlights the pathological biomineralization of CaOx in the urinary tract, which leads to urolithiasis, and describes the various natural forms of CaOx, including monohydrate, dihydrate, and trihydrate calcium oxalate. The authors present electrocrystallization as an effective method for the rapid and straightforward production of CaOx crystals, varying experimental parameters such as the opening and closing of the electrochemical cell, temperature, and electric currents. Notably, the use of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes as templates in electrocrystallization allows for selective control over the morphology of the CaOx crystals. This specialized book is aimed at healthcare professionals and experts dealing with pathological biomineralization.
