Offers a comprehensive guide to the isolation, properties and applications of chitin and chitosan
Chitin and Chitosan: Properties and Applications presents a comprehensive review of the isolation, properties and applications of chitin and chitosan. These promising biomaterials have the potential to be broadly applied and there is a growing market for these biopolymers in areas such as medical and pharmaceutical, packaging, agricultural, textile, cosmetics, nanoparticles and more.
The authors - noted experts in the field - explore the isolation, characterization and the physical and chemical properties of chitin and chitosan. They also examine their properties such as hydrogels, immunomodulation and biotechnology, antimicrobial activity and chemical enzymatic modifications. The book offers an analysis of the myriad medical and pharmaceutical applications as well as a review of applications in other areas. In addition, the authors discuss regulations, markets and perspectives for the use of chitin and chitosan. This important book:
Written for Researchers in academia and industry who are working in the fields of chitin and chitosan, Chitin and Chitosan: Properties and Applications offers a review of these promising biomaterials that have great potential due to their material properties and biological functionalities.

Tips of outer corners of the boards show edge-nicks and scuffing; small scuff-marks and discolourations on the spine and edges; fine scratches. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book offers a rigorous, end-to-end treatment of chitin and chitosan - from sourcing and isolation to advanced characterization, modification, and application. It surveys diverse natural sources (crustaceans, insects, fungi) with a dedicated chapter on sponges, and reviews production and isolation methodologies. Analytical coverage spans physicochemical properties and degradation products, with state-of-the-art methods for oligomers and polymers, including determination of the degree and pattern of acetylation and molecular-weight distribution. Functional properties are examined in depth, with extensive attention to chitosan-based hydrogels (multilayered, injectable, self-healing, shape-memory, superabsorbent). Biological activities are critically reviewed across in vitro, animal, and clinical studies, including immunomodulation, cholesterol-lowering effects, and mechanisms of antimicrobial action. Modification and conversion strategies cover enzymatic (chitinases; lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, LPMOs) and chemical routes to tailored materials such as quaternised derivatives and cross-linked networks, and assess chitin's role as a feedstock for bio-based building blocks in a biorefinery context. Applications span biomedicine (drug delivery designed to overcome biological barriers; advanced wound dressings), food and agriculture (functional additives; active/edible packaging; enzyme immobilization; encapsulation; postharvest fungal control), textiles (fibres and coatings), water purification (adsorption and membrane separation), and electrochemical sensors. The book concludes with market and regulatory perspectives - especially for insect-derived chitin - positioning these biopolymers as key materials in a sustainable, biobased economy. Essential for researchers, postgraduate students, and R&D practitioners in biomaterials, polymer science, biotechnology, and environmental engineering. N° de réf. du vendeur 008244
