Calcite single crystals containing polystyrene particles are synthesized using a straightforward, one-pot method, through control of the particle surface structure and the crystallization conditions. Investigation of the mechanical behavior of these composite crystals using nanoindentation shows enhanced fracture toughness via a crack bridging mechanism.
