In the field of biomedical nanotechnology, chitosan and alginate —both naturally derived biopolymers — have garnered significant attention due to their ...

Also, graphene has a demonstrated ability to absorb ions, and chitosan (a natural biopolymer) is a well-known reducing agent, ...

They designed a series of machines that turn the shells into chitosan, then turn the chitosan into plastic-like objects. They hope their method will help reduce plastic waste on our planet.
