Chitin Nanocrystals
Chitin nanomaterials are extracted from crab shells to stabilize bicontinuous emulsions by intra‐phase jamming at ultra‐low concentrations. In article number 2300686, Long Bai, Orlando J. Rojas, and co‐workers show the merits of bio‐based nanoparticles in forming complex multiphase systems, offering a new pathway to achieve advanced hierarchical and multiscale materials.
Non‐equilibrium multiphase systems are formed by mixing two immiscible nanoparticle dispersions, leading to bicontinuous emulsions that template cryogels with interconnected, tortuous channels. Herein, a renewable, rod‐like biocolloid (chitin nanocrystals, ChNC) is used to kinetically arrest bicontinuous morphologies. Specifically, it is found that ChNC stabilizes intra‐phase jammed bicontinuous systems...
