| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to create new functions by constructing ink jet printing method of cellulose and chitin nanocrystals (NC) and derivatives. Chitinous NC micropattern and cellulosic liquid crystalline microstructure were fabricated and evaluated for their applicability as cell culture scaffolds and optical functional materials, respectively. In the former, we succesfully designed micropatterning scaffolds capable of cell detachment with a polysaccharide degrading enzyme. Based on this result, further fundamental research on biomedical application of nanocellulose and nanochitin was devised.
