Studies on Chitin. I. Acetylation of Chitin [PDF]
Polymer Journal, 1979 Chitin was converted into diacetylchitin and also into various kinds of acetylchitins. A fully acetylated chitin was prepared by the acetylation of chitin in acetic anhydride—methanesulfonic acid mixture at 0°C overnight, or in acetic anhydride—perchloric acid mixture at 0°C for 3 h.

Seafood Waste as Attractive Source of Chitin and Chitosan Production and Their Applications
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Chitosan is a cationic polymer obtained by deacetylation of chitin, found abundantly in crustacean, insect, arthropod exoskeletons, and molluscs. The process of obtaining chitin by the chemical extraction method comprises the steps of deproteinization ...

Chiral nematic self-assembly of minimally surface damaged chitin nanofibrils and its load bearing functions [PDF]
Sci. Rep., 2016, 6, 23245, 2016 Chitin is one of the most abundant biomaterials in nature, with 10^10 tons produced annually as hierarchically organized nanofibril fillers to reinforce the exoskeletons of arthropods. This green and cheap biomaterial has attracted great attention due to its potential application to reinforce biomedical materials.
