The invention relates to a modification method of
chitin fiber and its application. Aiming at the problem of poor adsorption performance of ordinary
chitin to
metal oxides, it provides a one-step preparation method of modified
chitin fiber for
shrimp shells and its application. First, the
shrimp The shells are dried, pulverized and sieved to obtain
shrimp shell
powder, and then an
aqueous solution of
sodium iminodisuccinate,
potassium persulfate and
hydrogen peroxide are added to the shrimp shell
powder to obtain modified chitin fibers. The method directly prepares the modified chitin
fiber in one step without treating the shrimp shell with acid, alkali or
ethanol, and the process is simple, and the
reagent consumption is reduced. To apply the product to the preparation of flexible materials, the modified chitin fibers are ultrasonically treated with
acetic acid solution and then centrifuged to obtain a supernatant; then the supernatant is diluted with deionized water and evaporated to
dryness to obtain a flexible material. The enhanced adsorption capacity of chitin to
metal oxides after modification is beneficial to the
coating of flexible materials with
metal oxide layers, thereby increasing the properties of the substrate such as transparent
conductivity,
piezoelectricity, photoelectricity, and gas sensitivity.
