Nacre (mother-of-pearl), made of inorganic and organic constituents (95 vol% aragonite calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) platelets and 5 vol% elastic biopolymers), possesses a unique combination of remarkable strength and toughness, which is compatible for conventional high performance materials. The exce...
It is the major constituent of limestone. Calcite is the more stable form of calcium carbonate found in seashells, the other being aragonite (responsible for the attractive aspects of shells such as the iridescence of mother of pearl). But during burial, aragonite in the shells progressively recr...
