Chinese scientists develop new glass inspired by seashell with unparalleled strength and thermal insulation properties The structure of nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, is a natural composite found in the inner layer of mollusk shells such as abalone and pearl oysters. Nacre has a unique brick-and-mortar arrangement that consists of alternating layers of brittle calcium carbonate (aragonite) tablets and organic matrix, primarily composed of proteins and polysaccharides. The remarkable characteristic […]
