Biomimetic mineralization of diatom exoskeleton for sustainable pH-sensitive colored chitosan/silica hybrid self-supported films by Sandra Castanié, Laurent Billon

“…A gentle bio-inspired approach to the biosilicification occurring in diatom frustule is proposed to develop, at room temperature and without addition of a co-solvent, self-supported hybrid organic/inorganic films with pH-sensitive properties. It was found that chitosan (CS) biopolymer, a polysaccharide possessing numerous amine groups (–NH2) is capable of mimicking the action of the silaffins proteins of diatom frustule in the polycondensation process of the TetraEthoxyOrthoSilicate (TEOS) silica precursor to form a cohesive self-supported hybrid film under soft conditions in aqueous media. …”
