Ice shaping properties, similar to that of antifreeze proteins, of a zirconium acetate complex.

The control of the growth morphologies of ice crystals is a critical issue in fields as diverse as biomineralization, medicine, biology, civil or food engineering. Such control can be achieved through the ice-shaping properties of specific compounds. The development of synthetic ice-shaping compound...
