Nanostructural Organization of Naturally Occurring Composites—Part II: Silica-Chitin-Based Biocomposites
Figure 4
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy image of the fragment of isolated
chitin nanofibril (a); the arrows indicate the presence of crystallite-like
structures with a diameter which corresponds to that of chitin crystallites (2 nm). AFM micrograph of chitin nanofibrillar matrix (b).
