As the most common structure of chitin, α-chitin is insoluble in common aquatic and organic solvents, and is very difficult to be processed due to its highly ordered crystalline structure and the large number of intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Amorphization of α-chitin has been proved to be a valid measure for improving its subsequent functionalization efficiency and depolymerization yield. In this study, superfine grinding (SFG) was introduced to make α-chitin amorphous, and it was found that SFG effectively reduced
