Investigating the Interaction of Chitin in Organic Electrolyte Solutions Using Molecular Dynamics

The dissolution, hydrolysis and fermentation of biopolymers afford biofuels, an alternative source of energy. Unfortunately, biopolymers have hydrogen bonding networks that are difficult to disrupt and dispersion forces to overcome, all of which make it insoluble in most common organic solvents and...
