Abstract: Abstract Chitin, one of the most abundant natural polymers, is easy-accessible, biodegradable, and biocompatible. However, its poor solubility in common solvents limited its applications. In this paper, we used ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-metlimidazolium acetate ([BMIM]Ac) to… read more here.

Abstract: Changes in mass and viscoelasticity of chitin layers in fungal cell walls during chitinase attack are vital for understanding bacterial invasion of and human defense against fungi. In this work, regenerated chitin (RChitin) thin films… read more here.
