Roadmap toward multidimensional materials built from nanochitin with multiscale design principles, including current applications (blue circles) related to 0D emulsions, 1D fibers, 2D films, and 3D gels, and future perspectives (red circle) in 0D bioplastics, 1D smart wires, 2D intelligent textiles, and 3D engineered biolubricant. Here, “0D” refer to objects that make use of nanochitin as a primary building block. Adapted with permission from ref (478). Copyright 2017 John Wiley and Sons. Adapted from ref (479).
