Abstract: Cellulose nanofiber/chitin nanofiber (CCN) suspensions can be converted into uniform composite hydrogels under acidic condition, because the chitin nanofiber and cellulose nanofiber have C6 carboxylate groups on their surfaces, which form hydrogen bonds. However, the electrostatic repulsion caused… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/c7py00521k
Abstract: We have previously reported that re-dispersible amidinium chitin nanofibers are obtained from an amidinated chitin by CO2 gas bubbling with ultrasonic treatment in water. On the other hand, amylose is precisely synthesized by phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic… read more here.
