Formation of micropillars on etched calcite and their biomimetic effect on wettability: Implications for built heritage protection

We demonstrate the possibility of biomimetically altering the wettability of calcite (CaCO3) surfaces by the formation of micropillars through anisotropic dissolution with ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) solutions. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of the dissolution of (104)calcite faces sho...
