Preparation, water absorbency, and enzyme degradability of novel chitin- and cellulose/chitin-based superabsorbent hydrogels

Superabsorbent hydrogels were prepared from chitin dissolved in lithium chloride and N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone by esterification crosslinking with 1,2,3,4‐butanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTCA). The absorbency of the chitin hydrogel was strongly dependent on the ratio of BTCA feed to chitin. The hy...
