Designing of Self‐Dispersing Soft Dendritic Microcleaners for Microplastics Capture and Recovery
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The capture and recovery of microplastics from open aquatic systems is a complex problem, which necessitates nontrivial solutions. The principles of a comprehensive multistage process based on sustainably sourced microcleaners with hierarchical morphology are demonstrated.

Nitrogen sorption as a tool for the characterisation of polysaccharide aerogels [PDF]
, 2011 Supercritically dried aerogels of several polysaccharides (chitin, chitosan, alginate, alginic acid, k- carrageenan, and agar) have been characterised by physisorption ofN2. Surface areas as high as 570m2 g−1 have been measured.

Super strong paramagnetism induced by polar functional groups and water [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We experimentally demonstrate that some commonly used materials such as cellulose acetate and chitin which are traditionally considered to be non-magnetic show super strong paramagnetism in aqueous solutions under ambient conditions when they are agglomerated by nanoparticles.

How does Epichloë festucae avoid the host defence response? : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2018 Epichloë festucae is a filamentous fungus, which forms symbiotic associations with aerial tissues of Lolium and Festuca grass species. Chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-Dglucosamine, is an important component of the fungal cell wall and a well-known ...
