Pick up a button mushroom from the supermarket and it squishes easily between your fingers. Snap a woody bracket mushroom off ...

Found in crustacean shells, chitin is a useful natural polymer. Now, scientists have developed a fruit waste-based fermentation process for getting it out of those shells – and the technique ...

The wings of a butterfly are made of chitin, an organic polymer that is the main component of the shells of arthropods like crustaceans and other insects.

Using a ubiquitous, organic polymer called chitin, found in everything from fungi fibers to shellfish shells, a team of researchers from Singapore has devised a low energy manufacturing material ...

By stripping acetyl groups from chitin, the chemists made chitosan, an antimicrobial and antioxidant polymer that has applications in cosmetics, drug delivery, and food storage.
