- Abstract
Chitin nanowhiskers (ChNWs) hybridized with the densely adsorbed gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were facilely prepared by a simple mixing of aqueous suspensions of ChNWs and AuNCs. Adsorption of AuNCs on the ChNW surface was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The amounts of adsorbed AuNCs measured by thermogravimetry and combustion using a muffle furnace were in good agreement. While the amount of adsorbed AuNCs increased with AuNCs/ChNWs feeding ratio, we found only a weak dependence of adsorbed AuNC amount on the surface amino group content of ChNWs controlled by pre-deacetylation of the starting chitin.
