Abstract
Incompatibility of chitin nanomaterials with organic solvents is challenging in the design of the desirable organogels. The long hydrocarbon chains were covalently grafted on the surface of nanochitins, with the attachment of reactive allyl groups and improved dispersion in organic solvents. The reactive thiol groups of poly (ethylene glycol) were introduced into the allyl-nanochitin suspensions to produce the organogels by the thiol-ene click reaction. Attributed to the UV-induced cross-linking between the soft segments of thiolated-PEG and the allyl-nanochitin, the stable organogels with the storage modulus higher than the loss modulus by one order of magnitude were obtained, exhibiting the significant phase transition and mechanical enhancement on the rheological behavior. The combination of crystalline allyl-nanochitin and polymeric chains played a crucial role in the construction of the micro-network, attributing to the stability and mechanical strength of the organogels.

Abstract
Because of numerous inherent and unrivaled features of nanofibers made of chitin, the second most plentiful natural-based polymer (after cellulose), including affordability, abundant nature, biodegradability, biocompatibility, commercial availability, flexibility, transparency, and extraordinary mechanical and physicochemical properties, chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) are being applied as one of the most appealing bionanomaterials in a myriad of fields. Herein, we exploited the beneficial properties offered by the ChNF paper to fabricate transparent, efficient, biocompatible, flexible, and miniaturized optical sensing bioplatforms via embedding/immobilizing various plasmonic nanoparticles (silver and gold nanoparticles), photoluminescent nanoparticles (CdTe quantum dots, carbon dots, and NaYF4:Yb3+@Er3+&SiO2 upconversion nanoparticles) along with colorimetric reagents (curcumin, dithizone, etc.) in the 3D nanonetwork scaffold of the ChNF paper. Several configurations, including 2D multi-wall and 2D cuvette patterns with hydrophobic barriers/walls and hydrophilic test zones/channels, were easily printed using laser printing technology or punched as spot patterns on the dried ChNF paper-based nanocomposites to fabricate the (bio)sensing platforms. A variety of (bio)chemicals as model analytes were used to confirm the efficiency and applicability of the fabricated ChNF paper-based sensing bioplatforms. The developed (bio)sensors were also coupled with smartphone technology to take the advantages of smartphone-based monitoring/sensing devices along with the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT)/the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) concepts for easy-to-use sensing applications. Building upon the unrivaled and inherent features of ChNF as a very promising bionanomaterial, we foresee that the ChNF paper-based sensing bioplatforms will emerge new opportunities for the development of innovative strategies to fabricate cost-effective, simple, smart, transparent, biodegradable, miniaturized, flexible, portable, and easy-to-use (bio)sensing/monitoring devices.

Abstract
Molecular self-assembly in solutions is a powerful strategy for fabricating functional architectures. Various bio(macro)molecules have been used as self-assembly components. However, structural polysaccharides, such as cellulose and chitin, have rarely been a research focus for molecular self-assembly, even though their crystalline assemblies potentially have robust physicochemical properties. Herein, we demonstrated the neutralization-induced self-assembly of cellulose oligomers into antibiofouling crystalline nanoribbon networks to produce physically cross-linked hydrogels. The self-assembly proceeded even in versatile complex mixtures, such as serum-containing cell culture media, in a controlled manner for 3D cell culture. The cultured cells grew into cell aggregates (spheroids), which were simply collected through natural filtration due to the mechanically crushable property of the crystalline nanoribbons through water flow by pipetting. We will show the potential of cellulose oligomers for biocompatible, crystalline soft materials.

Abstract
Neutral TEMPO/NaClO/NaClO2 (TNN) oxidation, with NaClO2 as the primary oxidant under aqueous conditions at pH 6.8 was applied to selectively oxidize surface C6 primary hydroxyl groups of α-chitin to carboxylate groups. When 0.1 mmol TEMPO, 1 mmol NaClO and 20 mmol NaClO2 were added to 1 g α-chitin, the yield of water-insoluble oxidized chitin was 91.93 %, and the carboxylate content was 0.695 mmol/g. The TNN oxidized chitin (TNN-Ch) was mostly converted to individual nanofibrils by mechanical disintegration in water, with mostly widths of 20-24 nm and average lengths of 1 μm. Compared to chitin nanofibers produced by TEMPO/NaBr/NaClO system (TBN-ChNs), with average widths of 16.67 ± 7.9 nm and average lengths of 770 ± 170 nm, TNN-ChNs were wider, longer and had a higher aspect ratio; its films and hydrogels also showed better mechanical properties, which indicated the size effect on the nanofiber-based materials resulted from different oxidation process.

Abstract
Mixed Pickering emulsions were prepared by blending anionic nanocellulose-stabilized lipid droplets with cationic nanochitin-stabilized lipid droplets. Changes in the surface potential, particle size, shear viscosity, and morphology of the mixed emulsions were characterized when the droplet mixing ratio was varied. Emulsion properties could be tailored by altering the pH and mixing ratio. Surface potential measurements suggested that the nanochitin-coated lipid droplets adsorbed to the surfaces of the nanocellulose-coated lipid droplets, thereby dominating the overall electrical characteristics of the mixed emulsions. As a result, the mixed emulsions had better stability to coalescence than the single emulsions containing only nanocellulose-coated lipid droplets. Our results suggest that the physicochemical properties, shelf life, and functional performance of Pickering emulsions may be modulated by blending different kinds of particle-stabilized lipid droplets together.

Abstract
Greener alternatives to synthetic polymers are constantly being investigated and sought after. Chitin is a natural polysaccharide that gives structural support to crustacean shells, insect exoskeletons, and fungal cell walls. Like cellulose, chitin resides in nanosized structural elements that can be isolated as nanofibers and nanocrystals by various top-down approaches, targeted at disintegrating the native construct. Chitin has, however, been largely overshadowed by cellulose when discussing the materials aspects of the nanosized components. This Perspective presents a thorough overview of chitin-related materials research with an analytical focus on nanocomposites and nanopapers. The red line running through the text emphasizes the use of fungal chitin that represents several advantages over the more popular crustacean sources, particularly in terms of nanofiber isolation from the native matrix. In addition, many β-glucans are preserved in chitin upon its isolation from the fungal matrix, enabling new horizons for various engineering solutions.

Abstract
This paper reports a green nanocomposite made by simply blending chitin nanofibers and bamboo cellulose nanofibers without chemically dissolving chitin and cellulose raw materials. Good biodegradability and biocompatibility of chitin in conjunction with good mechanical properties of cellulose are beneficial for developing green nanocomposite applicable for food packaging. The bamboo cellulose nanofiber (BACNF) is isolated by using a TEMPO-oxidation followed by an aqueous counter collision (ACC) method. Chitin nanofiber (CTNF) is isolated by using the ACC method. A simple blending is used to prepare the nanocomposite with different CTNF and BACNF concentration. Morphologies, mechanical properties, chemical interactions, thermal properties, water contact angles and biodegradability of the nanocomposite are investigated. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of the prepared nanocomposite increased up to 3 and 1.3 times, respectively as the BACNF concentration increase. The nanocomposite exhibites better thermal stability than the pure BACNF. Furthermore, the nanocomposite is fully biodegradable within a week. Good mechanical, thermal properties as well as biodegradability of the nanocomposite are promising for possible food packaging application.

Abstract
Chitin, an insoluble linear polymer of β-1,4-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc; A), can be converted to chitosan, a soluble heteropolymer of GlcNAc and d-glucosamine (GlcN; D) residues, by partial deacetylation. In nature, deacetylation of chitin is catalyzed by enzymes called chitin deacetylases (CDA) and it has been proposed that CDAs could be used to produce chitosan. In this work, we show that CDAs can remove up to approximately 10% of N-acetyl groups from two different (α and β) chitin nanofibers, but cannot produce chitosan.

Abstract
Crystalline poly- and oligosaccharides such as cellulose can form extremely robust assemblies, whereas the construction of self-assembled materials from such molecules is generally difficult due to their complicated chemical synthesis and low solubility in solvents. Enzyme-catalyzed oligomerization-induced self-assembly has been shown to be promising for creating nanoarchitectured crystalline oligosaccharide materials. However, the controlled self-assembly into organized hierarchical structures based on a simple method is still challenging. Herein, we demonstrate that the use of organic solvents as small-molecule additives allows for control of the oligomerization-induced self-assembly of cellulose oligomers into hierarchical nanoribbon network structures. In this study, we dealt with the cellodextrin phosphorylase-catalyzed oligomerization of phosphorylated glucose monomers from ᴅ-glucose primers, which produce precipitates of nanosheet-shaped crystals in aqueous solution. The addition of appropriate organic solvents to the oligomerization system was found to result in well-grown nanoribbon networks. The organic solvents appeared to prevent irregular aggregation and subsequent precipitation of the nanosheets via solvation for further growth into the well-grown higher-order structures. This finding indicates that small-molecule additives provide control over the self-assembly of crystalline oligosaccharides for the creation of hierarchically structured materials with high robustness in a simple manner.

Abstract
Chitin nanofibrils (ChNF) are interesting high-value constituents for nanomaterials due to the enormous amount of waste from the seafood industry. So far, the reported ChNFs are substantially modified and chemically degraded (shortened) during extraction from the organisms. Here, highly individualized and long native-state β-chitin nanofibrils from Illex argentinus squid pens are prepared. A mild treatment was developed to preserve the molar mass, aspect ratio, degree of acetylation and crystallite structure. The fibrils show a uniform diameter of 2-7 nm, very high aspect ratio (up to 750), high degree of acetylation (DA = 99%), and high molar mass (843 500 dalton). The powder X-ray diffraction analysis showed the preserved crystallite structure after protein removal. These "high quality" ChNFs were used to prepare nanostructured films via vacuum filtration from stable hydrocolloids. The effects of well-preserved "native" fibrils on morphology, and film properties (mechanical and optical), were studied and compared with earlier results based on coarser and shorter, chemically degraded chitin fibrils.

Abstract
Crystalline polysaccharides, such as cellulose and chitin, can form superior assemblies in terms of physicochemical stability and mechanical properties. However, their use as molecular building blocks for self-assembled materials is rare, possibly because each crystalline polysaccharide has its own unique monomer unit, preventing molecular design for controlling the self-assembly. Herein, we demonstrate the temperature-directed assembly of crystalline cellulose oligomers into kinetically trapped structures, namely, precipitated nanosheets, nanoribbon network hydrogels, and dispersed nanosheets (in descending order of temperature). It was found that enzymatically synthesized cellulose oligomers self-assembled in situ into those structures depending on the synthetic temperatures. Mechanistic studies suggested that the formation of the nanoribbon networks and the dispersed nanosheets at lower temperatures were driven by synergy between the decreased hydrophobic effect and the simultaneously induced self-crowding effect. Furthermore, nanoribbon network formation was exploited for the construction of cellulose oligomer-based hybrid gels with colloidal particles. Our findings promote the development of robust self-assembled materials composed of crystalline polysaccharides with highly ordered nano-to-macroscale structures.

Abstract
By mimicking the natural sclerotization process of insect cuticles, a novel nanofiber-reinforced gelatin hydrogel was developed with improved mechanical properties, which was further strengthened through quinone cross-linking. Because quinone cross-linking reacts between amino groups by increasing the amino group content on the chitin crystalline surface through alkali treatment, surface-deacetylated chitin nanofibers (SD-ChNFs) were prepared to facilitate the cross-linking reaction between SD-ChNF and gelatin. This technique resulted in a tough hydrogel with a dark color. In comparison to a non-cross-linked version, the quinone-cross-linked SD-ChNF/gelatin hydrogel exhibited significantly improved tensile performance. Notably, by controlling the cross-linking reaction time from 6 to 48 h, the tensile strength of the quinone-cross-linked hydrogels can be modified and can reach as high as 2.96 MPa while displaying a variable brown color. Given the eco-friendly, biocompatible, and sustainable properties of chitin and gelatin, these bioinspired hydrogels provide potential applications in the agricultural and biomedical fields.

Abstract
In the present review, the possibilities for blending of commodities and bio-based and/or biodegradable polymers for packaging purposes has been considered, limiting the analysis to this class of materials without considering blends where both components have a bio-based composition or origin. The production of blends with synthetic polymeric materials is among the strategies to modulate the main characteristics of biodegradable polymeric materials, altering disintegrability rates and decreasing the final cost of different products. Special emphasis has been given to blends functional behavior in the frame of packaging application (compostability, gas/water/light barrier properties, migration, antioxidant performance). In addition, to better analyze the presence of nanosized ingredients on the overall behavior of a nanocomposite system composed of synthetic polymers, combined with biodegradable and/or bio-based plastics, the nature and effect of the inclusion of bio-based nanofillers has been investigated.

Abstract
Different from single charged or uncharged nanocrystals, amphoteric chitin nanocrystals (A-ChNCs) with both amine and carboxylate groups prepared with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy-radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation and partial deacetylation were individually nanodispersed by sonicating in water at pH 3 and pH 11. The effects of the amount of NaClO2 added in TEMPO-oxidation, deacetylation time, and sequence of the two treatments on the weight recovery ratios of the A-ChNCs were investigated. The A-ChNCs prepared under optimum conditions had an average length of ∼544 nm and an average width of ∼10 nm. The A-ChNCs nanodispersed in water at pH 3 and pH 11 had absolute ζ-potentials of >30 mV; however, in neutral water, they formed aggregations, which were nanodispersed again when pH was adjusted to 3 or 11, showing pH sensitivity. Hydrogels of A-ChNC were prepared by adding saturated NaCl solution and adsorbed both anionic and cationic dyes. Freeze-dried A-ChNC aerogels had three-dimensional network structures containing abundant pores.

Abstract
Chitin is a renewable and sustainable biomass material that can be converted into various one-dimensional crystalline nanomaterials different in 1) length, 2) diameter, 3) charge density, 4) type of charge, and 5) crystallinity via diverse top-down synthetic methods. These nanomaterials have great potential as sustainable reinforcing and biologically functional materials. The proper design of chitin nanomaterials maximizes their performances in specific applications. Extensive efforts are devoted to understanding each type of chitin nanomaterial produced from different chitin sources; however, few studies have compared different chitin nanomaterials. Herein, we synthesize five different types of chitin nanomaterials from identical sources and compare their physical and chemical properties, including suitability for assorted purposes. Factors 1)-5) are discussed regarding their dominance in determining functionality depending on the specific goals of a) gas barriers, b) mechanical reinforcements, c) dispersibility in various pH aqueous buffers, d) thermal dimensional stability, and e) antibacterial activity. This study gives insights to design new chitin nanomaterial-based materials.

Abstract
Ball-milled chitin was liquefied with an optimal yield of 92% under sulfuric acid in diethylene glycol (DEG) at 160 °C for 120 min. The resulting liquid mixture was roughly separated into two portions: the real products of the reaction (liquefied ball-milled chitin, LBMC) and the remaining unreacted DEG. LBMC was further mingled with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to prepare LBMC/PVA blend membranes. To promote the direct utilization of shellfishery waste, raw shrimp shells were used to replace chitin for the liquefaction and membrane preparation operations. Liquefied ball-milled shrimp shells (LBMS) and the corresponding LBMS/PVA blend membranes were obtained. After adding LBMC or LBMS, the mechanical, thermal, water content and antibacterial performance of blend membranes were significantly improved compared to pure PVA membrane. Surprisingly, all the measured properties of LBMC/PVA and LBMS/PVA blend membranes were comparable, and even some properties of the latter were slightly superior than those of the former.

Abstract
Biopolymer nanofibrils exhibit exceptional mechanical properties with a unique combination of strength and toughness, while also presenting biological functions that interact with the surrounding environment. These features of biopolymer nanofibrils profit from their hierarchical structures that spun angstrom to hundreds of nanometer scales. To maintain these unique structural features and to directly utilize these natural supramolecular assemblies, a variety of new methods have been developed to produce biopolymer nanofibrils. In particular, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), chitin nanofibrils (ChNFs), silk nanofibrils (SNFs) and collagen nanofibrils (CoNFs), as the four most abundant biopolymer nanofibrils on earth, have been the focus of research in recent years due to their renewable features, wide availability, low-cost, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. A series of top-down and bottom-up strategies have been accessed to exfoliate and regenerate these nanofibrils for versatile advanced applications. In this review, we first summarize the structures of biopolymer nanofibrils in nature and outline their related computational models with the aim of disclosing fundamental structure-property relationships in biological materials. Then, we discuss the underlying methods used for the preparation of CNFs, ChNFs, SNF and CoNFs, and discuss emerging applications for these biopolymer nanofibrils.

Abstract
The thermal, crystalline, and pressure-sensitive adhesive properties of thermoplastic monoesters made from paramylon, a storage polysaccharide of Euglena gracilis, and a long-chain acyl chloride, were examined. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the thermal properties of these paramylon monoesters were dependent on the chain length and the average degree of substitution of the long-chain acyl group (av. DSlca). X-ray diffractometry revealed that the product solids with a myristoyl or palmitoyl group had a less ordered lateral acyl chain structure than those with a stearoyl group. Tackiness testing showed that the introduction of a myristoyl group into paramylon with an av. DSlca of ∼2.6 to ∼2.9 yielded palpable pressure-sensitive adhesion. A slight deviation of the chain length and/or av. DSlca from those of tacky paramylon myristate solids weakened or dispersed the tackiness. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using paramylon myristate solids with the av. DSlca in a specific range as a practical pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Abstract
Living organisms produced nanopolymers (nanobiopolymers for short), such as nanocellulose, nanochitin, nanosilk, nanostarch, and microbial nanobiopolymers, having received widely scientific and engineering interests in recent years. Compare with petroleum-based polymers, biopolymers are sustainable and biodegradable. The unique structural features that stem from nanosized effects, such as ultrahigh aspect ratio and length-diameter ratio, further endow nanobiopolymers with high transparence and versatile processability. To fabricate these nanobiopolymers, a variety of mechanical, chemical, and synthetic biology techniques have been developed. The applications of the isolated nanobiopolymers have been extended from polymer fillers into wide emerging high-tech fields, such as biomedical devices, bioplastics, display panels, ultrafiltration membranes, energy storage devices, and catalytic supports. Accordingly, in the review, the authors first introduce isolation techniques to fabricate nanocellulose, nanochitin, nanosilk, and nanostarch. Then, the authors summarized the nanobiopolymers produced from biosynthetic pathway, including microbial polyamides, polysaccharides, and polyesters. On the other hand, most of these techniques require high energy consumption and usage of chemical reagents. In this regard, life cycle assessment offered a quantitative route to precisely evaluate and compare environmental benefits of different artificial isolation approaches, which are also summarized in the second section of the review.

Abstract
In this study, chitin nanofiber (ChNF) was deacetylated on the crystalline surface by NaOH treatment, leading to the fibrillation of mostly individualized nanofibers with high aspect ratio. The small diameter and high strength of chitin nanofibers make them promising reinforcing fillers for composites. Herein by introducing into the gelatin, surface-deacetylated chitin nanofiber (S-ChNF)/gelatin nanocomposites were fabricated in different component ratios using immersion method followed with drying. Due to the reinforcing effect attributed to S-ChNF, mechanical properties of the S-ChNF/gelatin were significantly improved in both stress and Young's modulus while still maintaining high transparency regardless of nanofiber content. Morphology and Fourier-transform infrared characterization revealed that S-ChNF preserved nanonetwork structures in the gelatin matrix and exhibited good compatibility through hydrogen bonding, which further confirmed the improvement in mechanical properties. Therefore, these S-ChNF/gelatin nanocomposites based on biocompatible and biodegradable raw materials have potential applications in biomedical and food packaging industries.

Abstract
Chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) and chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) are nanomaterials with great innovative potential for sustainable applications in academic and industrial fields. The research related to their isolation and production, characterization, and utilization is still new. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the production process on the morphology and properties of ChNFs and ChNCs produced from the same source of chitin. ChNCs were prepared by acid hydrolysis of commercial shrimp shell α-chitin, and ChNFs were prepared by mechanical defibrillation using closed loop supermass colloidal grinding. Differences in their shape, size, and crystallinity were observed. ChNFs were observed to have higher aspect ratio, higher viscosity, and better thermal stability than ChNCs. Although the ChNC casting film had a higher degree of transparency, it had lower mechanical properties than ChNF film. In addition, the capacities of each nanomaterial for producing Pickering emulsions were comparatively investigated. ChNFs showed better oil-in-water emulsion stabilization ability than ChNCs at the same concentrations. In vitro cytotoxicity assays using two epithelial-like cell lines and two fibroblast-like cell lines demonstrated that both nanomaterials were non-toxic. Finally, we evaluated the economics of production using process engineering simulation to assess the energy and chemical consumption for each process of production of these nanomaterials.

Abstract
We study a unique biomaterial developed from fungal mycelium, the vegetative part and the root structure of fungi. Mycelium has a filamentous network structure with mechanics largely controlled by filament elasticity and branching, and network density. We report the morphological and mechanical characterization of mycelium through an integrated experimental and computational approach. The monotonic mechanical behavior of the mycelium is non-linear both in tension and compression. The material exhibits considerable strain hardening before rupture under tension, it mimics the open cell foam behavior under compression and exhibits hysteresis and the Mullins effect when subjected to cyclic loading. Based on our morphological characterization and experimental observations, we develop and validate a multiscale fiber network-based model for the mycelium which reproduces the tensile and compressive behavior of the material.

Abstract
The biological material, chitin, is present in nature in three allomorphic forms: α, β and γ. Whereas most studies have dealt with α- and β-chitin, only few investigations have focused on γ-chitin, whose structural and physicochemical properties have not been well delineated. In this study, chitin obtained for the first time from the cocoon of the moth (Orgyia dubia) was subjected to extensive physicochemical analyses and examined, in parallel, with α-chitin from exoskeleton of a freshwater crab and β-chitin from cuttlebone of the common cuttlefish. Our results, which are supported by13C CP-MAS NMR, XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, DSC, SEM, AFM, chitinase digestive test and elemental analysis, verify the authenticity of γ-chitin. Further, quantum chemical calculations were conducted on all three allomorphic forms, and, together with our physicochemical analyses, demonstrate that γ-chitin is distinct, yet closer in structure to α-chitin than β-chitin.

Abstract
Separators, necessary components to isolate cathodes and anodes in Li/Na-ion batteries, are consumed in large amounts per year; thus, their sustainability is a concerning issue for renewable energy storage systems. However, the eco-efficient and environmentally friendly fabrication of separators with a high mechanical strength, excellent thermal stability, and good electrolyte wettability is still challenging. Herein, we reported the fabrication of a new type of separators for Li/Na-ion batteries through the self-assembly of eco-friendly chitin nanofibers derived from prawn shells. We demonstrated that the pore size in the chitin nanofiber membrane (CNM) separator can be tuned by adjusting the amount of pore generation agent (sodium dihydrogen citrate) in the self-assembly process of chitin nanofibers. By optimizing the pore size in CNM separators, the electrochemical performance of the LiFePO4/Li half-cell with a CNM separator is comparable to that with a commercialized polypropylene (PP) separator. More attractively, the CNM separator showed a much better performance in the LiFePO4/Li cell at 120 °C and Na3V2(PO4)3/Na cell than the PP separator. The proposed fabrication of separators by using natural raw materials will play a significant contribution to the sustainable development of renewable energy storage systems.
