This study was conducted to produce CaCO3 powder extracted from cockle shells as bioceramic materials which later combined with high density polyethylene (HDPE) as the polymer to produce composite as the final product. For CaCO3 clarification, the powder form of bioceramics was analyzed using FTIR,...
