Fig. 4.20 C MAS spectra of nacreous layer of Pinctada fucata (a) without CP and (b) with CP. The insets are expanded spectra of CO region. The broad signal around the sharp signal at 171 ppm (b) originates from the carboxylate in the biopolymer.

Potassium sulfate and potassium hydrogen phthalate both formed a nacrelike structure when the PAA concentration was adjusted to a suitable value [235-237] (Fig. 17). Just like the nacre in Nature (Japanese pearl oyster Pinctada fucata) [235], the nacre-Uke structure of potassium sulfate-PAA and potassiiun hydrogen phthalate-PAA can absorb and store dyes [235-237] (Fig. 17). With a different concentration of PAA, the K2SO4 crystal exhibited a different hierarchical architecture by iso-oriented assembly or oriented attachment mechanisms [236].
