Nanofibers with 0.25° of esterification were homogeneously dispersed in basic water due to the carboxylate salt on the surface. Esterification proceeded on the surface and did not affect the relative crystallinity. A cast film of the esterified chitin nanofibers was highly transparent, since the film was free from light scattering.}, pages = {55--59}, title = {Preparation of chitin nanofibers by surface esterification of chitin with maleic anhydride and mechanical treatment}, volume = {153}, year = {2016}, yomi = {アキログ, イフン ファンタフン and イザワ, ヒロノリ and モリモト, ミノル and サイモト, ヒロユキ and イフク, シンスケ and アキログ, イフン ファンタフン} }
