Chitin-based Materials

Chitin-Based Materials is a class of biopolymer-derived sustainable materials principally composed of chitin or its derivatives, distinguished by their origin from natural polysaccharide sources in arthropod exoskeletons and fungal cell walls, and engineered for applications in biodegradable composites, packaging, and biomedical systems.
