Here this study demonstrates the use of ionic liquids to successfully extract chitin from different biomass sources and the utilization of the resulting chitins to prepare monofilament fibers. Chitin was extracted from five different biomass sources (processed and raw shrimp shell, crab and lobster shell, and fly larvae) using the ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C₂mim][OAc]). While processed and raw shrimp shell yielded chitin of high purity in quantitative yield, crab and lobster shell resulted in lower yields of chitin. Fly larva provided chitin severely contaminated with proteins. Each extracted chitin was re-dissolved in the same IL and dry wet jet spun into monofilament fibers to determine any trends in mechanical properties vs. biomass source. The concentration needed to spin fibers was not consistent and had to be adjusted individually for each type of chitin obtained. Chitin from raw shrimp shell produced the strongest fibers, while the chitin from the crab and lobster produced weaker fibers, although, the latter were twice as elastic. The use of fly larvae led to the weakest and least elastic fibers.
