In this work, we present a series of nanocomposites for Fused filament fabrication (FFF)
based on polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs). The ChNCs were …

We analysed the feasibility of using unmodified chitin exoskeletons and moults of
mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) as adsorbents to remove cationic dyes–Basic Violet 10 …

Horseshoe crab (order Xiphosura) has a large and thick carapace that has evolved as a
protective tool to defend against predators and resist impacts from surf-zone turbulence. The …

The study aim was to test the applicability of exoskeletons and molts from mealworm
(Tenebrio molitor) cultures as sorbents for anionic dyes: Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and …

Recently, chitin biopolymer has received much attention as a wide variety of biomedical
application for this and its derivatives have been reported, in fact, the study of non …

Organisms occupy diverse ecological niches worldwide, each with characteristics finely
evolved for their environments. Crustaceans residing in deep-sea hydrothermal vents …

Animals living in extreme environments, such as hydrothermal vents, would be expected to
have evolved protective shells or exoskeletons to maintain homeostasis. The outer part of …

Topological motifs in pore architecture can profoundly influence the structural properties of
that architecture, such as its mass, porosity, modulus, strength, and surface permeability …
