Biodegradable mushroom-based transparent paper

There is growing interest towards biopolymerbased nanofibres due to its superior mechanical properties and environmentally friendly functions. Chitin nanofibres may be of interest as a component for nanocomposites. Decolourisation effectively enhance the desirability of chitin nanofibres as it...
