Description

Redispersible nano chitin and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of chitin nano materials, and particularly relates to re-dispersible nano chitin and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In nature, chitin is widely present in shells of crustaceans such as lower plant fungi, shrimps, crabs and insects, and cell walls of fungi, and is the second largest natural biopolymer with the second best storage amount than cellulose. Chitin is odorless and tasteless, and is insoluble in water, dilute acid, alkali, ethanol or other organic solvents. The nano chitin inherits various excellent properties of the chitin, has high specific surface area, crystallinity and modulus, and is regarded as natural polymer fiber with excellent comprehensive performance for a long time. Compared with common inorganic nano materials, the nano chitin has the characteristics of reproducibility, wide sources, low energy consumption, low cost and the like, and the surface of the nano chitin has functional groups with certain reactivity and can participate in grafting reaction.
However, chitin is a highly crystalline polysaccharide, and has strong intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions, and thus it is difficult to produce chitin into a state of nanofibers or nanocrystals by a simple method. The existing technology for preparing the nano chitin is mainly to extract and separate the nano chitin from shrimp and crab shells by a mechanical method, a chemical method, an enzymatic hydrolysis method, a dissolution regeneration method and the like, and the obtained nano chitin is easy to form strong hydrogen bonds during drying, so that nano fibers are mutually entangled and are difficult to be redispersed into a nano-size state. Therefore, the redispersion effect of the nano chitin prepared by the method is not ideal. You et al extracted redispersible chitin nanofibrils (chem. Eng.j.2018,344, 498) from crab shells by deprotonation assisted liquid phase stripping using DMSO/KOH "pseudo-solvent", unfortunately, this method produced nanofibrils at low concentrations, only up to 0.5mg/mL, which greatly limited their commercial application.
At present, the nano chitin generally exists in a water phase form in the preparation and transportation processes, so the storage and transportation cost of the nano chitin is greatly increased. Therefore, the development of the re-dispersible nano chitin is particularly important.

Filtering alkali, washing with deionized water to neutrality, and drying to obtain pretreated chitin. The deacetylation degree of the obtained pretreated chitin was 12%.
