Nanochitin and nanochitosan (with random‐copolymer‐based multiscale architectures of
glucosamine and N‐acetylglucosamine units) have recently attracted immense attention for …

Chitin derived from the seafood wastes such as waste crab, shrimp and lobster shells is
abundant and renewable, and will become one of the most important chemical raw …

Bacterial infection has always been a great threat to public health, and new antimicrobials to
combat it are urgently needed. Here, a series of quaternized β‐chitin derivatives is prepared …

Bone defects requiring grafts to promote healing are frequently occurring and costly
problems in health care. Chitosan, a biodegradable, naturally occurring polymer, has drawn …

Reducing the use of non-renewable resources is a key strategy of a circular economy.
Mycelium-based foams and sandwich composites are an emerging category of …

Biological photonic structures can precisely control light propagation, scattering, and
emission via hierarchical structures and diverse chemistry, enabling biophotonic …

Natural biomaterials are extensively used in tissue engineering due to their microstructure
interconnectivity and inherent bioactivity which mimics of natural extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Biopolymers-induced immune microenvironment exhibited prominent effects on bone
regeneration. Osteo-immunomodulatory responses of cellulose nanoparticles incorporated …

Over the past several decades, we have witnessed significant progress in chitosan and
chitin based nanostructured materials. The nanofibers from chitin and chitosan with …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201600336 are cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and chitin nanofibers
(ChNF). Not surprisingly, the vast majority of research is concerned with CNF because of its …
