Kadokawa JI. A Mini-Review: Fabrication of Polysaccharide Composite Materials Based on Self-Assembled Chitin Nanofibers. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:1898. [PMID: 38673255 PMCID: PMC11052074 DOI: 10.3390/ma17081898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
This mini-review presents the fabrication methods for polysaccharide composite materials that employ self-assembled chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) as functional components. Chitin is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in nature. However, it is mostly not utilized because of its poor feasibility and processability. Self-assembled ChNFs are efficiently obtained by a regenerative bottom-up process from chitin ion gels using an ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-methylimodazolium bromide. This is accomplished by immersing the gels in methanol. The resulting dispersion is subjected to filtration to isolate the regenerated materials, producing ChNF films with a morphology defined by highly entangled nanofibers. The bundles are disintegrated by electrostatic repulsion among the amino groups on the ChNFs in aqueous acetic acid to produce thinner fibers known as scaled-down ChNFs. The self-assembled and scaled-down ChNFs are combined with other chitin components to fabricate chitin-based composite materials. ChNF-based composite materials are fabricated through combination with other polysaccharides.

Kadokawa JI. Hydrogelation from Self-Assembled and Scaled-Down Chitin Nanofibers by the Modification of Highly Polar Substituents. Gels 2023; 9:432. [PMID: 37367103 DOI: 10.3390/gels9060432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) with a bundle structure were fabricated via regenerative self-assembly at the nanoscale from a chitin ion gel with an ionic liquid using methanol. Furthermore, the bundles were disentangled by partial deacetylation under alkaline conditions, followed by cationization and electrostatic repulsion in aqueous acetic acid to obtain thinner nanofibers called scaled-down ChNFs. This review presents a method for hydrogelation from self-assembled and scaled-down ChNFs by modifying the highly polar substituents on ChNFs. The modification was carried out by the reaction of amino groups on ChNFs, which were generated by partial deacetylation, with reactive substituent candidates such as poly(2-oxazoline)s with electrophilic living propagating ends and mono- and oligosaccharides with hemiacetallic reducing ends. The substituents contributed to the formation of network structures from ChNFs in highly polar dispersed media, such as water, to produce hydrogels. Moreover, after the modification of the maltooligosaccharide primers on ChNFs, glucan phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization was performed from the primer chain ends to elongate the amylosic graft chains on ChNFs. The amylosic graft chains formed double helices between ChNFs, which acted as physical crosslinking points to construct network structures, giving rise to hydrogels.

Abstract
Chitin-based nanoparticles are polysaccharide materials that can be produced from a waste stream of the seafood industry: crustacean shells. These nanoparticles have received exponentially growing attention, especially in the field of medicine and agriculture owing to their renewable origin, biodegradability, facile modification, and functionality adjustment. Due to their exceptional mechanical strength and high surface area, chitin-based nanoparticles are ideal candidates for reinforcing biodegradable plastics to ultimately replace traditional plastics. This review discusses the preparation methods for chitin-based nanoparticles and their applications. Special focus is on biodegradable plastics for food packaging making use of the features that can be created by the chitin-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
Although chitin is a representative abundant polysaccharide, it is mostly unutilized as a material source because of its poor solubility and processability. Certain specific properties, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and renewability, make nanofibrillation an efficient approach for providing chitin-based functional nanomaterials. The composition of nanochitins with other polymeric components has been efficiently conducted at the nanoscale to fabricate nanostructured composite materials. Disentanglement of chitin microfibrils in natural sources upon the top-down approach and regeneration from the chitin solutions/gels with appropriate media, such as hexafluoro-2-propanol, LiCl/N, N-dimethylacetamide, and ionic liquids, have, according to the self-assembling bottom-up process, been representatively conducted to fabricate nanochitins. Compared with the former approach, the latter one has emerged only in the last one-and-a-half decade. This short review article presents the preparation of composite materials from the self-assembled chitin nanofibers combined with other polymeric substrates through regenerative processes based on the bottom-up approach.

Abstract
Based on our previous work on successful gelation of poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-grafted chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) with high polar media, in this study, we investigated the preparation and gelation behaviors of the ChNFs having different poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline) graft chains, that is, poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline), poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline), and poly(2-butyl-2-oxazoline), with various disperse media. The grafting was carried out by reactions of living propagating ends of poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline)s with amino groups present on the self-assembled ChNFs, which were obtained from a chitin ion gel. The products formed gels in the reaction mixtures, which could be converted into hydrogels. All the products with the three poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline) graft chains formed gels with high polar media. Besides, gelation of the product with poly(2-butyl-2-oxazoline) was observed by immersing it in relatively non-polar media such as benzyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, and toluene. The formation process of network structures by the grafting of poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline)s on ChNFs is proposed to induce gelation of the products.

Abstract
A critical review on the synthesis, characterization, and modeling of polymer grafting is presented. Although the motivation stemmed from grafting synthetic polymers onto lignocellulosic biopolymers, a comprehensive overview is also provided on the chemical grafting, characterization, and processing of grafted materials of different types, including synthetic backbones. Although polymer grafting has been studied for many decades—and so has the modeling of polymer branching and crosslinking for that matter, thereby reaching a good level of understanding in order to describe existing branching/crosslinking systems—polymer grafting has remained behind in modeling efforts. Areas of opportunity for further study are suggested within this review.

Chitosan is obtained from chitin that in turn is recovered from marine crustacean wastes. The recovery methods and their varying types and the advantages of the recovery methods are briefly discussed. The bioactive properties of chitosan, which emphasize the unequivocal deliverables contained by this biopolymer, have been concisely presented. The variations of chitosan and its derivatives and their unique properties are discussed. The antioxidant properties of chitosan have been presented and the need for more work targeted towards harnessing the antioxidant property of chitosan has been emphasized. Some portions of the crustacean waste are being converted to chitosan; the possibility that all of the waste can be used for harnessing this versatile multifaceted product chitosan is projected in this review. The future of chitosan recovery from marine crustacean wastes and the need to improve in this area of research, through the inclusion of nanotechnological inputs have been listed under future perspective.

Abstract
Chitosan is a biopolymer discovered abundantly on earth specifically in the exoskeleton of shrimps, crabs and insects. In the present study, isolation and characterization of chitosan from the pen shell Pinna bicolor was carried out. In addition to this, the chitosan acquired from the pen shell was tested for its antibacterial activity against five bacterial strains. The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of NH out of plane bending (872 cm-1) and C-O-C stretching (1016 cm-1) for chitosan with 59.76% degree of deacetylation. The Micro Raman showed peaks at 1658 cm-1, 1595 cm-1 and at 954 cm-1 corresponding to chitosan. The XRD was able to establish the crystallinity of the chitosan sample with a maximum peak at 29.3°. The elemental analysis of chitosan sample confirmed higher level of carbon (10.75%) when compared to other elements such as nitrogen, hydrogen and sulphur. The antimicrobial activity of extracted chitosan was evident with greater zone of inhibition against Salmonella typhi (20 mm) and least against Shigella dysenteriae. Thus, the present study unravels the properties of chitosan extracted from P. bicolor thereby paving way for its further use in the field of biomedical science and nanotechnology.

Abstract
Structure-based tissue engineering requires large-scale 3D cell/tissue manufacture technologies, to produce biologically active scaffolds. Special attention is currently paid to naturally pre-designed scaffolds found in skeletons of marine sponges, which represent a renewable resource of biomaterials. Here, an innovative approach to the production of mineralized scaffolds of natural origin is proposed. For the first time, a method to obtain calcium carbonate deposition ex vivo, using living mollusks hemolymph and a marine-sponge-derived template, is specifically described. For this purpose, the marine sponge Aplysin aarcheri and the terrestrial snail Cornu aspersum were selected as appropriate 3D chitinous scaffold and as hemolymph donor, respectively. The formation of calcium-based phase on the surface of chitinous matrix after its immersion into hemolymph was confirmed by Alizarin Red staining. A direct role of mollusks hemocytes is proposed in the creation of fine-tuned microenvironment necessary for calcification ex vivo. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample showed a high CaCO3 amorphous content. Raman spectroscopy evidenced also a crystalline component, with spectra corresponding to biogenic calcite. This study resulted in the development of a new biomimetic product based on ex vivo synthetized ACC and calcite tightly bound to the surface of 3D sponge chitin structure.

Abstract
Chitin is an abundant organic resource but shows poor solubility, leading to difficulty in utilization as materials. We have already reported that an ionic liquid (IL), 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, dissolves chitin at concentrations up to ca. 5 wt %. However, the color of the resulting solution is blackened, mainly owing to the presence of bromide. On the other hand, some deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been already reported to dissolve chitin. In this study, we found that DESs composed of imidazolium ILs and thiourea dissolved chitin without obvious coloring. DESs are systems formed from eutectic mixtures of hydrogen bond accepters and donors. We first prepared DESs by heating mixtures of imidazolium ILs with thiourea at 100 °C for 30 min with stirring. Predetermined amounts of chitin were then added to the DESs, and for the dissolution, the mixtures were left standing at room temperature for 24 h, followed by heating at 100 °C for 24 h with stirring. The dissolution processes were evaluated by CCD camera views, which revealed in most cases the dissolution of chitin at 2–5 wt % concentrations with the present DESs.

Abstract
Mimicking Nature implies the use of bio-inspired hierarchical designs to manufacture nanostructured materials. Such materials should be produced from sustainable sources ( e.g., biomass) and through simple processes that use mild conditions, enabling sustainable solutions. The combination of different types of nanomaterials and the implementation of different features at different length scales can provide synthetic hierarchical nanostructures that mimic natural materials, outperforming the properties of their constitutive building blocks. Taking recent developments in flow-assisted assembly of nanocellulose crystals as a starting point, we review the state of the art and provide future perspectives on the manufacture of hierarchical nanostructured materials from sustainable sources, assembly techniques, and potential applications.

Abstract
We previously reported the preparation of a self-assembled chitin nanofiber (CNF) film via regeneration from an ion gel with an ionic liquid, followed by sonication and filtration. Based on the finding that CNFs were redispersed in a mixture of the film with ammonia aqueous solution (aq.), in this study, CNF-natural rubber (NR) composite sheets were fabricated by mixing redispersed CNF with NR latex stabilized by ammonia, followed by drying under reduced pressure. Tensile testing of the sheets indicated the reinforcing effect of CNFs. Further, CNF-NR composite porous materials were fabricated by evaporating ammonia from the CNF-NR dispersion, followed by lyophilization. The mechanism for the formation of porous structures was evaluated.

Abstract
AbstractIn this article, a review of the research endeavors concerning ionic liquids, that have been used as media for dissolution, gelation, functionalization, and material preparation of chitin, is presented. Although chitin has been identified to show difficulty in solubility and processability, leading to mostly an unutilized organic resource, some ionic liquids have been found to dissolve chitin in certain concentrations. For example, the author found that an ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (AMIMBr), dissolved chitin in concentrations up to 4.8 wt% and formed ion gels at higher contents of chitin. Cellulose/chitin binary ion gel and film were also obtained from the individually prepared polysaccharide solutions with ionic liquids. The binary ion gel was applied as a novel electrolyte for an electric double layer capacitor. Acetylation of chitin using acetic anhydride in AMIMBr gave chitin acetates with high degrees of substitution. The modification technique in the AMIMBr solvent was applied to the synthesis of a chitin macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Grafting of styrene by ATRP from the resulting macroinitiator was conducted to give chitin–graft–polystyrene. Self-assembled chitin nanofibers were fabricated in a methanol dispersion obtained by regeneration from the chitin ion gel with AMIMBr using methanol, which formed a film by subjecting the dispersion to filtration. Co-regeneration from the chitin ion gel coexisting poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gave a self-assembled chitin nanofiber/PVA composite film. The self-assembled chitin nanofibers have also been used as a reinforcing agent for cellulose derivatives to produce composite films.

Abstract
A review of the fabrication of polysaccharide ion gels with ionic liquids is presented. From various polysaccharides, the corresponding ion gels were fabricated through the dissolution with ionic liquids. As ionic liquids, in the most cases, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride has been used, whereas 1-allyl-3methylimidazolium acetate was specifically used for chitin. The resulting ion gels have been characterized by suitable analytical measurements. Characterization of a pregel state by viscoelastic measurement provided the molecular weight information. Furthermore, the polysaccharide ion gels have been converted into value-added sustainable materials by appropriate procedures, such as exchange with other disperse media and regeneration.
