Chitin is a biopolymer that is extensively researched within the fields of material science and biological studies due to its abundance in nature and its structural role in many organisms. It is a major component of the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi. In research, Chitin is studied for its potential as a biodegradable and sustainable material. Investigations also focus on the enzymatic processes of chitin degradation and synthesis, which are for understanding the life cycles of chitin-utilizing organisms and developing biological control strategies. Moreover, Chitin′s ability to form strong yet flexible materials makes it a subject of interest in the development of advanced composites and nanofibers.
