Facile Preparation of Nanofibrillar Networks of "Ureido-Chitin" Containing Ureido and Amine as Chelating Functional Groups.
TL;DR: This work demonstrates a facile method for the preparation of aerogels of chitosan derivative "ureido-chitin", containing ureido functional groups, and found that the polymer chains self-assembled, with the chitin polymers oriented in a highly ordered crystalline structure.

A review of chitin and chitosan applications
TL;DR: Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy as mentioned in this paper.
