••
TL;DR: The purpose of this research is not only to produce two kinds of chitin oligosaccharides or N -acetyl chito-oligosACcharides (NA-COSs) with different molecular weights from crab chit in hydrolysis solution but also to determine their effect against oxidative stress in live cells.

••
TL;DR: Thermogravimetric analysis result indicated that thermal and thermal oxidation stability of all coated cotton fabrics were enhanced in the high temperature range (400-700°C), and microcombustion calorimetry result showed that all coatedotton fabrics showed lower peak heat-release rate and total heat- release values compared with that of the pure one.
