dc.description.abstractCalcium oxalate (CaOx) is the most common component of human kidney stones. Heterogeneous nucleation is regarded as the key mechanism in this process. As such, crystallization of this substance has been studied in several different model systems. However, molecular imprinting has not been previously used in this field. In the present study, template crystals of calcium oxalate mono- and di-hydrate (COM and COD respectively) were used to imprint a copolymer of 6-methacrylamidohexanoic acid and divinylbenzene.en_ZA
