      Calcium carbonate and its polymorphs from cockle shells (Anadara granosa) and commercial calcium carbonate were characterised using a variable pressure scanning electron microscopes (VPSEM), a transmission electron microscope ...
    • A novel method for the synthesis of calcium carbonate (aragonite) nanoparticles from cockle shells 

      Kh Nurul, Islam; Md Zuki, Abu Bakar, Prof. Dr.; Md. Eaqub, Ali, Dr.; Mohd Zobir, Hussein, Prof. Dr.; Noordin, Mohamed Mustapha, Prof. Dr.; Loqman, Mohamad Yusof, Dr.; Hanif, Wahid; Uda, Hashim, Prof. Dr.; Miah, Gous (Elsevier B.V., 2013-02)
      We report a simple, novel and low-cost method for the synthesis of aragonite nanoparticles from cockle shells. Aragonite is one of the least abundant biogenic polymorphs of calcium carbonate and is widely used as a biomaterial ...
