Effects of reactant concentrations and reaction temperature on the physical properties of Zol-Ca complexes synthesized in RM. (A) Representative TEM micrographs of Zol-Ca complexes synthesized in RM with a fixed concentration ratio of CaCl2/Zol at 7.5/1, but different concentrations of CaCl2 and Zol (i.e. 0.375 M/0.05 M (A-1) or 0.6 M/0.08 M (A-2)); or with a fixed CaCl2 concentration of 0.15 M, but different concentrations of Zol (i.e. 0.05M (A-3) or 0.08M (A-4)). (B) Representative TEM micrographs of Zol-Ca complexes synthesized in RM with a reaction temperature of ~30 °C or ~10 °C (bars = 100 nm).
