AB  - To develop a new drug delivery system, antibacterial 50-900 nm nanoparticles of 
      shell and internal organs from scallops collected off Huksan-Island, Korea, were 
      prepared by dry grind technology respectively. The diameters, identities, and 
      conformations of the scallop shell and internal organ particles were determined 
      with a particle-size analyzer and by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning 
      electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The antibacterial properties 
      of the nanoparticles from scallop shell were investigated in the absence and the 
      presence of scallop-shell extract. Bacterial growth was reduced with the 
      supernatant of the nanoparticle scallop-shell extract. Also, the nanoparticles 
      from scallop shell were much more effective as a skin softener than was powder. 
      These facts provide us with guidelines for the study of the size-dependent 
      properties of functional materials as well as for further applications to drug 
      delivery systems (DDSs) and cosmetic raw materials.
