Comprehensive review on pre-treatment of native, crystalline chitin using non-toxic and mechanical processes in preparation for biomaterial applications
Abstract
Chitin forms an intricate and exceptionally stable 3D network in crustacean cuticles. Dissolution of purified chitin without derivatization or damage to its native structure is challenging and recent advances are presented in this review.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
