“…Due to the nano-size effect, the nanocomposite film was optically transparent. This finding is applicable for chitin nanofibers to obtain optically transparent nanocomposite with acrylic resin as well (Ifuku, et al, 2010;Shams et al, 2011). We expect that the transparent chitin nanofiber/acrylic nanocomposite with improved mechanical and optical properties encourages the development of an optical device such as a flexible display.…”

“…We expect that the transparent chitin nanofiber/acrylic nanocomposite with improved mechanical and optical properties encourages the development of an optical device such as a flexible display. Additionally, chitin has different characteristics from cellulose such as biocompatibility (Tokura et al, 1983), wound healing activity (Okamoto et al, 1995), high purity (Shimahara & Takiguchi, 1998), and hydrophobicity (Shams et al, 2011), which strongly distinguish it from cellulose nanofiber reinforced composite film. In this study, we prepared chitin nanofiber composite with two different types of acrylic resins, and characterized their transparency, Young's modulus, mechanical strength, and thermal expansion.…”

“…The introduction of these natural polymers as nanofillers in a rubber matrix has been suggested, to improve specific properties in some applications. In particular, they are likely to reduce the amount of swelling due to absorption in membranes [7], and can allow SBR to compete with vulcanised rubber, in that their reinforcing capability, depending on the aspect ratio of the chitin, can be comparable to the traditional inorganic nanofillers e.g., clay [8]. In addition, the compatibilization efficiency of styrenebutadiene matrices generally depends on the conditions of blend preparation and processing [9].…”

“…This was explained by the fact that the whiskers take the appearance of a rigid network, which results from strong interactions between them, in particular from hydrogen bonds: the network is possibly governed by a percolation mechanism only at high temperature [11]. Unmodified chitin whiskers, obtained from squid pen [12] and crab shells [5] have been tested as the reinforcing elements in polymer matrices, such as polycaprolactone [13], acrylic resins [14] and natural rubber [4][5][6]. Modification of chitin whiskers by different chemical agents, in particular succinic anhydride, and different types of isocyanates, has also been attempted, with no substantial improvement for the introduction into a natural rubber matrix [15].…”

“…1,[18][19][20][21] In this study, a high optical transparency sheet was fabricated using the composite material of CHINF and the resin. In this transparent sheet, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was reduced by the presence of the CHINF.…”
