Preparation and properties of microfibrillated chitin/gelatin composites

Content:
A microfibrillated chitin/gelatin composite film was prepared by solvent casting method, and the nanosized microfibrillated chitin as a reinforce phase to improve oxygen resistance, water-resistant and
mechanical performance in this system.The morphologies were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the mechanical properties were investigated by texture analyzer. Oxygen permeability
property, optical property and swelling property were investigated. The results indicated thatthe elastic modulus and tensile strength of microfibrillated chitin/gelatincomposite reached to 2.2GPa and 74.5MPa
respectively when the content of microfibrillated chitinis 8wt%. The swelling ratio decreased to 11.63 with the 6wt% content of microfibrillated chitin.In addition, chitin microfibrils effectively enhanced the oxygen
resistance of composite film without obvious loss of transmittance.
