Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose. It has become of great interest not only as an underutilized resource, but also as a new functional material of high potential in various fields, and recent progress in chit

Chitin and chitosan-derivatives have gained wide attention as effective biosorbents due to low cost and high contents of amino and hydroxyl functional groups which show significant adsorption potential for the removal of various aquatic pollutants. In this review, an extensive list of chitin-and chi

## Abstract This study concerns the improvement in the antimicrobial activity of new aminated chitosan derivatives. __p__‐Benzoquinone (PBQ) conjugated chitin was first prepared and then reacted with ethylenediamine (EDA) to get aminated chitin. The latter was finally deacetylated to get new aminat
## Abstract Owing to its superior tribological and mechanical properties with corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and hemocompatibility, diamond‐like carbon (DLC) has emerged as a promising material for biomedical applications. DLC films with various atomic bond structures and compositions are
