Add to ORKGThis work investigated mussel shell's potential as a bio-filler for polypropylene (PP). Micron-scale mussel shells were obtained by ball milling. Both aragonite and calcite were identified in mussel shell through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The aragonite and calcite percentages in mussel shell were estimated with X'Pert Highscore Plus software at 54.9% and 45.1 %, respectively. Mussel shell shows a minimum weight loss (<5 wt%) at temperature below 650°C as revealed by thermogravimetric analyses, indicating it is sufficiently thermally stable for compounding with polypropylene. A better compatibility with hydrophobic PP matrix was achieved by mech...
