Sea Shell: A Marine Waste to Filler in Polymer Composite

Abstract

This work focuses on the sea shell and its source and application of known clam shells. These clam shells are marine waste which is made of calcium carbonates .Its utilization is highly required to make a value added product and waste minimization. The depletion of polymer has motivated the researcher to search the alternative to reduce the consumption of polymer. Thus the recent studies on the clam shells have been done to understand its utilization in polymer and other application. Some of the important applications may include potential of seashell as filler materials in different polymeric composites, which would enhance its mechanical properties along with its applications in mechanical industries.
