chitosan (chitin, organic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin, the chief component in the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and beetles. It is used in horticulture and agriculture as a biopesticide, and plant growth enhancer; and in medicine as a coagulant. As a sprayed coating, cyanoethylated chitosan is used to protect historic paper material. Chitosan is also found as an organic component incorporated into polymer materials to form a self-healing coating which promises to render the painted surfaces it is applied to scratch-free.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Chitosan is de gedeacetyleerde vorm van chitine, hoofdbestanddeel in het huidpantser van schaaldieren, kevers en andere insecten. Chitosan wordt in de tuinbouw en landbouw gebruikt als biologisch verdelgingsmiddel en groeiversterker voor planten. In de geneeskunde wordt het gebruikt als stremmingsmiddel. In de vorm van een gesproeide deklaag wordt cyaanethylgesubstitueerde chitosan gebruikt om historisch papiermateriaal te beschermen. Chitosan wordt ook als organisch bestanddeel aan polymeermaterialen toegevoegd om een zelfherstellende deklaag te vormen, om de desbetreffende beschilderde oppervlakken krasvrij te maken.
