Abstract
Chitin nanofibers (CNFs) reinforced silsesquioxane-urethaneacrylate (SSQ-UA) copolymer films were prepared. CNFs-SSQ-UA nanocomposite films were highly transparent due to the filling of nanometer sized (10–20 nm) CNFs inside the hybrid organic–inorganic SSQ-UA copolymer. CNFs due to their crystalline structure drastically increased Youngʹs moduli and the tensile strengths of the composite and decreased the thermal expansion. High thermal stability of polysilsesquioxane improved heat resistance of CNFs.
