บทคัดย่อ

Chitin is one of the most abundant biopolymers in nature. Herein, we report the successful preparation of chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) from shrimp shell waste using a partial deacetylation process with NaOH and high-speed blending. The effects of the deacetylation reaction with NaOH concentrations (0–40 wt%) on the degree of acetylation (DA), crystallinity, zeta potential, thermal stability, and morphology of the ChNFs were investigated. With the more aggressive deacetylation reaction (higher NaOH concentration), ChNFs had the lower DA, crystallinity degree, and thermal stability, and their widths and lengths became smaller and shorter. The presence of amino groups in the chitin molecule caused by deacetylation generated repulsive forces with aids of acetic acid, efficiently leading to the individualization of ChNFs using high-speed blending. The individualized ChNFs deacetylated with 30 wt% NaOH had an average width of 8.07 ± 1.80 nm and length of less than 500 nm, whereas bundles of aggregated fibers with widths in the range of 30–100 nm and lengths of up to several μm were extracted from chitin without deacetylation. Additionally, the deacetylation with 40 wt% NaOH completely converted chitin to chitosan. The ChNFs could be efficiently used for composites, biomaterials, and packaging applications. © 2023 The Author(s). Published with license by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
