The invention discloses a preparation method of a
surface modified chitin whisker, which comprises the following steps: taking a proper amount of
chitin to carry out acidolysis reaction, removing supernate through a
centrifugation method after the reaction is finished, cleaning, then adding the acidolysis
chitin into
purified water, then adding
sodium hydroxide or
potassium hydroxide and
chloroacetic acid according to a ratio, setting
reaction conditions, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain the
surface modified chitin
whisker. After the reaction is finished, diluting and standing, washing by adopting a centrifugal method to obtain a residual
solid, adding water, dialyzing, carrying out ultrasonic treatment, freeze-
drying and the like. On the basis of retaining the key structure of the chitin
whisker, the surface-modified chitin whisker which is more excellent in
dispersity and compatibility than the chitin whisker is simply and efficiently prepared, and meanwhile, a centrifugal-
dialysis combined purification technology is matched, so that the reaction period is greatly shortened, the production cost is greatly reduced, and the method is suitable for industrial production. The application prospects of the chitin
whiskers in the aspects of beauty makeup, daily chemicals and medicines are greatly improved.
