Synthesis of the Crystalline Microstructures of Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate on the Basis of Track Membranes

Abstract

The possibility of employing track membranes as templates during the formation of the crystalline microstructures of potassium dihydrogen phosphate is investigated. The microstructures emergent toward an incoming flow are shown to arise in pores when a supersaturated crystallization solution flows through the track membrane. Their direction and lateral sizes are determined by the direction and diameter of the membrane pores.
