This study aims to determine the feasibility of Oyster (Crassostrea) shells as ceramic

capacitors. It specifically seeks to answer if Oyster shells be feasible in terms of its capacitance;
this study also ought to find out the difference between oyster shells made ceramic capacitor and
the standard-based capacitor and the recommendations that can be proposed based on the results
and findings.

The researchers prepared two (2) groups, the experimental group which is composed of
(1)100% Oyster shells, (2)50% Oyster shell, 50% silica gel, (3)75% Oyster shell, 25% silica gel
and (4)25% Oyster shell and 75% silica gel; and the controlled group that is composed of 100%
silica gel. The sodium silicate was used as a binder with the ratio 1:1 (1ml of sodium silicate per
1g of the powder).

The concentrations of each setups were tested its capacitance. Based on the procedures
made, the controlled group gained an average capacitance of 0.157 µF while the average
capacitance of the four (4) experimental setups was: (1) 0.217 µF, (2) 0.115 µF, (3) 0.366 µF, (4)
0.252 µF. And based on the results of the experiment, the concentration in the experimental
group which yielded the highest capacitance value was concentration 3 (75% oyster shell, 25%
silica gel) and its average capacitance was approximately 233% higher than the controlled setup
(100% silica gel).

With all the results gathered, concentration 3 has higher average capacitance compared to
the controlled setup, hence it can be concluded that oyster shells were feasible as a component of
ceramic capacitor.
