This book presents a detailed examination of the recent biotechnological advances in chitin and chitosan-based biocomposites, highlighting their preparation, characterization, and wide-ranging applications. It offers a thorough exploration of how these biopolymers are revolutionizing fields such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery, with chapters dedicated to nanocomposites, chitin and chitosan whiskers, and their applications in food packaging, energy, and therapeutics.
The chapters cover essential topics such as the biotechnological extraction of chitin from shrimp shells, the preparation and characterization of chitin and chitosan whiskers, and their integration into rubber, thermoplastic, and thermoset blends. The book also investigates the therapeutic potential of chitin and chitosan derivatives, focusing on their roles in drug delivery systems, wound healing, and antimicrobial applications. Additionally, it explores the use of these biopolymers in energy applications, including fuel cell technology and supercapacitor electrode materials.
This comprehensive volume is designed for academics, researchers, and students in biochemistry, materials science, and biotechnology. It provides an in-depth understanding of the latest research and practical applications of chitin and chitosan, offering solutions to both fundamental and applied challenges. As a "one-stop" reference, it is an invaluable resource for those seeking to leverage the benefits of biodegradable and biocompatible composites in various scientific and industrial domains.
