Chitin nanopaper from mushroom extract: natural composite of nanofibers and glucan from a single biobased source

An isolation method with mild mechanical agitation and no acidic extraction step from a mushroom substrate resulted in chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) with large shares of retained glucans (50−65%). The subsequent chitin nanopapers exhibited exceptionally high tensile strengths of >200 MPa and modul...
