Insights into depolymerization of chitosan using acid hydrolysis, direct photolysis, and photocatalysis: A review by Nurul Amanina A. Suhaimi, Nur Batrisyia Amirul, Alessandra Anne Hasman, Nurulizzatul Ningsheh M. Shahri, Nur Nabaahah Roslan, Harry Lik Hock Lau, Cristina Pei Ying Kong, Eny Kusrini, Anwar Usman

“…Chitosan is an important natural biopolymer, having a wide range of pharmaceutical, medical, and biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, nontoxicity, and ability to absorb bioactive compounds. These specific applications require low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) due to its better biodegradability, biocompatibility, bioactivity, and solubility in water when compared to as-prepared high molecular weight chitosan (HMWC) obtained from the deacetylation of chitin. …”

Impact of trapping on tritium self-sufficiency and tritium inventories in fusion power plant fuel cycles by Samuele Meschini, Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin, George R. Tynan, Sara E. Ferry

“…However, detailed analysis of individual components reveals that substantial amounts of tritium can be trapped within the first wall, divertors, and breeding blanket systems, suggesting that tritium trapping may significantly influence the FPP ability to achieve self-sufficiency. The compounded effects of additional tritium traps generated by irradiation effects and component replacements further exacerbate this challenge. …”
