Nanosphere Lithography of Chitin and Chitosan with Colloidal and Self-Masking Patterning

Nanosphere Lithography of Chitin and Chitosan with Colloidal and Self-Masking Patterning

Complex surface topographies control, define, and determine the properties of insect cuticles. In some cases, these nanostructured materials are a direct extension of chitin-based cuticles. The cellular mechanisms that generate these elaborate chitin-based structures are unknown, and involve complic...
