In this study, we investigate the effect of the porous structure of silica shells on their tribological performance.Materials and MethodsThe silica shells used in this study were obtaine
4、d from a freshwater diatom, Melosira varians. The shells were cleaned of any organic matter using a solution of hydrogen peroxide before being characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
