Optically transparent biocomposites: Polymethylmethacrylate reinforced with high performance chitin nanofibers

This paper demonstrates the preparation of transparent biocomposites from chitin nanofiber using a series of simple mechanical treatments after the removal of proteins and minerals. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images show that the prepared chitin nanofibers are highly unifor...
