Abstract

The black soldier fly (BSF) is an efficient converter of residual biomasses into valuable product molecules and biomolecules. It has attained significant consideration for sustainable resource recovery and waste management. Chitin was extracted, isolated and purified from BSF (Yield 15%) and was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Two fractions were obtained by sieving and the 100-mesh sample showed a crystallinity index of 9.32% which indicates that this BSF chitin sample falls into the amorphous category. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) evaluated chitin's thermal properties, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examined its surface morphologies, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) performed elemental analysis. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to investigate the molecular geometry and infrared vibrational properties of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomer and its conceptual dimeric and trimeric chitin sub-units.

期刊介绍： Journal of Polymer Research provides a forum for the prompt publication of articles concerning the fundamental and applied research of polymers. Its great feature lies in the diversity of content which it encompasses, drawing together results from all aspects of polymer science and technology. As polymer research is rapidly growing around the globe, the aim of this journal is to establish itself as a significant information tool not only for the international polymer researchers in academia but also for those working in industry. The scope of the journal covers a wide range of the highly interdisciplinary field of polymer science and technology, including: polymer synthesis; polymer reactions; polymerization kinetics; polymer physics; morphology; structure-property relationships; polymer analysis and characterization; physical and mechanical properties; electrical and optical properties; polymer processing and rheology; application of polymers; supramolecular science of polymers; polymer composites.
