Key Points

Fractal structures with dimensions between 1.56 and 1.74 were created using reaction-diffusion precipitation of benzoic acid in gelatin.
The fractal dimension varies based on the concentration of sodium benzoate, highlighting its role in the formation process.
The approach utilizes diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) mechanics to create complex scaffold architectures.
Understanding these fractal formations could enable advancements in material design and applications in various fields.

Implication

Demonstration of reaction-diffusion processes producing fractal structures in benzoic acid solutions, indicating design potential for crystalline scaffolds.

Abstract

Reaction–diffusion precipitation of benzoic acid (BA) in gelatin yields diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) fractals whose dimension (D ≈ 1.56–1.74) depends on the inner sodium benzoate (NaBZ) concentration. Here, we demonstrate that...
