International Journal of Biological Macromolecules170, 317-325. Gabriel Ibrahin Tovar, Patricia Rivas, Juan Manuel Lázaro-Martínez, Claudio Javier Pérez, Federico Javier Wolman y Guillermo Javier Copello.

Highlights

•The spinning medium induced a particular structural organization on chitin.
•The gelling process lead to characteristic interchain interactions.
•Interchain H-bonds and chitin-water interactions were affected.
•Microstructural changes in chitin modified biointerface interactions.
•Lysozyme adsorption capacity was influenced by chitin gel supramolecular structure.
