Investigation on the Infrared Absorption Spectrum of Pearl and Nacre

Abstract:

The infrared absorption spectra of some saltwater pearl and shell are investigated; the micrographs of the pearl and nacre layer are viewed. The result shows that infrared absorption spectra of pearl and nacre comprise the spectra of nanophase CaCO₃ and other unidentified material, this can evidence that nacre is a kind of biologic composite material composed of nanophase calcium carbonate.
