Optically Active Metamaterials Made of Plasmonic Nanoparticles and Chitin Nanocrystals
… embedded in a helicoidal architecture made of chitin nanocrystals, and to understand how the material interact with light to generate macroscopic circular dichroism. The material fabrication was based on a unique wet-chemistry synthetic pathway to incorporate achiral plasmonic nanoparticles, of …

The self-assembly of chitin nanocrystals into hierarchically structured functional materials
… abundant natural resources such as a biopolymer chitin need to be better exploited. In this work, chitin was used to produce rod-shaped nanoparticles, known as chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) via acid hydrolysis. Firstly, hydrolysis in hydrochloric acid with varied acidity (3.0 and 5.0 M) and …

Renewable Natural Polymer Thin Films and Their Interactions with Biomacromolecules
… (SPR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Chitinase activity on regenerated chitin (RChitin) films was studied by QCM-D and AFM. The optimal temperature and pH for chitinase activity on surfaces determined by QCM-D and AFM were consistent with bulk solution studies in the literature. …
