Shellter
2021
"Shellter" is a project to create biomaterials using discarded oyster shells and make them into artificial shells for hermit crabs. When Kaolin(Al₂Si₂O5(OH)₄) meets Calcium(Ca) in the oyster shell, the material becomes dense and solid. Shellter can be used in various applications and explores a sustainable future. Furthermore, when it decomposes over time in the ocean, it could help the acidification problem of the ocean.
