At the moment Morganti group is working on the possibility to use chitin Nanofibrils bound with polymer recovered from plant biomass to produce innovative cosmetics, food packagings and advanced medications. These researches are supported by EU projects. The first obtained results are very promising for the production of innovative products involving nanobiotechnologies.

Nanoparticles and Nanostructures Man-Made or Naturally Recovered: The Biomimetic Activity of Chitin Nanofibrils
Nanostructures, man-made or naturally recovered, are materials which often have specific properties due to their small particle size. Being on the nanometer scale (nm; a bacterium is about 1000 nm long), nanotechnology is supposed to play a critical role to solve the problem to obtain new functional healthy ingredients and structures.
