Nowadays, the rapid climate change, water pollution and harmful gas emissions are largely
caused by the extensive use of petrochemicals and the burning of plastic materials. The …

To minimize the usage of non-renewable resources and to maintain a sustainable
environment, the exploitation of green nanobiopolymers should be enhanced. Biopolymers …

Nanowhiskers of crystalline polysaccharides, including cellulose and chitin, have recently
been attracting much attention, especially as rigid filler components of novel nanocomposite …

Bionanomaterials are widely applied for green bionanotechnology, most especially in the
biomedical sector and their application can be linked to several factors, namely …

In this paper, rod-like chitin whisker was used as a filler to reinforce the chitosan membrane,
and a series of composite membranes were prepared by casting–evaporation method …

To improve both the mechanical properties and cytocompatibility of poly (l-lactide)(PLLA),
rod-like chitin whiskers (CHWs) were prepared, and subsequently surface modified with l …

A type of nano-chitin whisker (NCW) reinforced poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) membranes
were prepared through non-solvent induced phase separation process, which exhibited …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers were prepared using PVA with different degree of
polymerization (DP) under the same wet spinning process. The effect of the DP of PVA on …

Hybrid nanoparticles composed of chitin nanowhiskers (ChNWs) and gold nanoclusters
(AuNCs) having an improved stability were prepared. The grafting of monomethoxypoly …

Chitin is a biobased and renewable biopolymer which consistents with the green and
