“…Also this have enhanced mechanical properties, degradation stability and enhanced affinity to the cellular components. Chitin and chitosan have been used as scaffolds due to their biodegradability, hydrophilicity, nonantigenicity, non-toxicity, antimicrobial activity, bio adherence and cell affinity, which make chitosan the ideal candidate for uses in a wide range of applications [28][29][30][31]. The scaffold material in our study is a blend of chitosan and polycaprolactone nanofibers obtained by single step electrospinning.…”

“…The intricate network of tubes and chambers acts like a capillary, and the swelling in these skeletons is the result of capillary action. This swelling and other properties make chitin-based scaffolds promising candidates for practical applications in biomedicine and tissue engineering [64][65][66]. Furthermore, chitin in sponges is known as a versatile template for biomineralization in both calcification and silicification reactions [67].…”

Abstract:In this mini-review, we shall first cover a short history of the discovery of chitin isolated from sponges; as well as its evolutionarily ancient roots. Next, we will delve into the unique structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of this naturally occurring polymer to illuminate how its physicochemical properties may find uses in diverse areas of the material sciences. We show how the unique properties and morphology of sponge chitin renders it quite useful for the new route of "Extreme Biomimetics"; where high temperatures and pressures allow a range of interesting bioinorganic composite materials to be made. These new biomaterials have electrical, chemical, and material properties that have applications in water filtration, medicine, catalysis, and biosensing. OPEN ACCESSPolymers 2015, 7 236

“…We decided to use three-dimensional chitin-based scaffolds isolated from marine sponges because they are principally the promising candidates for practical applications in tissue engineering, catalysis, enzyme immobilization, etc. [35,36]. Additionally, application of these morphologically defined skeletal networks allows overcoming processes associated with prefabrication of chitin into threedimensional structures.…”

range of uses. Here, chitin-based scaffolds isolated from the skeleton of marine demosponge Aplysina aerophoba were used as a template for the in vitro formation of iron oxide from a saturated iron(III) chloride solution, under hydrothermal conditions (pH~1.5, 90 °C). The resultant chitin-Fe 2 O 3 three dimensional composites, prepared for the first time via hydrothermal synthesis route, were thoroughly characterized using light, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy; as well as with analytical methods like Raman spectroscopy, electron diffraction and HR-TEM. The results show that this versatile method allows for efficient chitin mineralization with respect to hematite. Additionally, we demonstrate that chitin nanofibers template the nucleation of uniform Fe 2 O 3 nanocrystals.
