A Review on Biopolymer-Based Fibers via Electrospinning and Solution Blowing and Their Applications (2018, background): “Chitin is soluble in solvents like 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), hexafluoroacetone, chloroalcohols with 5% LiCl in DMAc, and mineral acids in aqueous solution, because of its extensive inter and intramolecular hydrogen bonds through acetamido groups and high crystallinity [20,135,136].”
