Abstract
Nanocomposite gels containing chitosan as a network polymer and chitin nanowhiskers as reinforcing fillers were successfully prepared by cross-linking with the blocked isocyanate, HDS. Young’s modulus and stress at break of the nanocomposite gels increased to maximum values of 169 and 135 kPa, respectively, with increase in whisker content up to 13.3%, whereas the degree of swelling decreased from 357 to...
