چکیده
C is the second most important natural polymer in the nature after cellulose. The main sources of the chitin compounds are shrimp and crabs.Our objective is to discuss the state of the art on extraction of nano chitin whiskers and Chitin based nanocomposites using different type of polymer matrixes. This review manly focuses on the preparation, characterization, properties, morphologies and chemical modifications of chitin and chitin based nanocomposites. Different characterization techniques such as, AFM, SEM, TEM analysis were described for the characterization of nanochitin whiskers, and TGA, UTM, XRD, DMA were described for the characterization of the chitin based nanocomposites. Finally the applications of these composites are described.

متن کاملChitin-chitosan nanocomposite gels: reinforcement of chitosan hydrogels with rod-like chitin nanowhiskers
Nanocomposite gels containing chitosan as a network polymer and chitin nanowhiskers as reinforcing fillers were prepared by cross-linking with the blocked isocyanate hexamethylene-1,6-di-(aminocarboxysulfonate) (HDS). Young’s modulus and stress at break of the nanocomposite gels increased to maximum values of 169 and 135 kPa, respectively, with increase in whisker content up to 13.3%, whereas t...
