Abstract: Herein, environmentally benign chitin nanofiber (ChNF) membranes were fabricated by regulating suspension behavior. The introduction of zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIF-8) into the composite membranes led to the domain formation of ChNF derived by coordinative interaction,… read more here.
