α-Chitin Nanocrystals Prepared from Shrimp Shells and Their Specific Surface Area Measurement
Abstract
Alpha-chitin was isolated from shrimp shells. The chitin was subjected to extensive treatments of acid hydrolysis and mechanical disruption to yield nanocrystals. The goal of this article is to characterize alpha-chitin nanocrystals produced from shrimp shells in regard to crystallite properties and the specific surface area of the chitin nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction data indicate an increase in chitin crystallinity after hydrolysis, as less-ordered chitin domains are digested. Line broadening data were used to measure crystallite size and particle size in the hydrolyzed chitin nanocrystals. Dye adsorption with Congo red was used to measure the specific surface area of the particles, indicating values near 350 m2/g. This value was supported with calculations derived from X-ray crystallite size measurements. Particle surface area measurements were compared with similarly prepared cellulose nanocrystals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
