Although the isolation of chitin by Braconnot in 1811 preceded Payen's isolation of cellulose by some 30 years, the development of the chemistry of chitin and its industrial applications has lagged far behind that of cellulose. However the 1970s saw the beginning of an upsurge of interest in chitin chemistry, spearheaded by the publication of Professor Muzzarelli's two books, "Natural Chelating Polymers" and "Chitin", and the organization of the 1st International Conference on Chitin/Chitosan in 1977. In the intervening period the chemical behaviour of these polymers has been studied and the object in writing this book is to present an up-to-date and ordered account of the chemistry of chitin and chitosan.
