Structural and Material Properties of Chitin Nanofibers Produced Without Deacetylation Treatment
ABSTRACT Deacetylation pretreatment is commonly applied to chitin nanofibers to introduce positive charges on their surface, increasing their fibrillation efficiency in water. However, without this treatment, chitin cannot be easily disintegrated into fibers with widths of several nanometers. Here,...
