  • Abstract
    The short range atomic arrangements in crystalline chitin, crystalline chitosan and amorphous chitosan films are shown to be similar in that the fundamental rings and chains are retained in all of these structures. The interchain bonding differs, however, and is weakest in amorphous chitosan and strongest in crystalline chitin.
