Mineral and physiochemical evaluation of cockle shell (Anadara granosa) and other selected molluscan shell as potential biomaterials

Molluscan shells are attracting research interest due to the diverse application properties possessed. As shells are very similar to bones, this study was conducted to analyze the mineral and physiochemical composition of Cockle (Anadara granosa) shell and three other types of molluscan shell, namel...
