Diagrammatic sketch for collagen mineralizing. With the addition of polyacrylic acid, a liquid-like calcium carbonate precursor was first formed. Because of clear phase boundaries between PILP and solution, capillary force is easily generated. Then the liquid-like precursors could seep into collagen cracks and therefore result in space-filling crystals.
