Incorporation of Nanochitin in Cement Mortars: An Approach to Enhancing Durability and Sustainability

Abstract This study explores the use of nanochitin extracted from crab shell waste to enhance the mechanical and durability properties of cement-based mortars. Nanochitin, a biopolymer derived from chitin, has been identified as a promising nanomaterial additive that improves compressive strength, c...
