Abstract

- Chitin nano-whiskers (CNWs) were prepared and introduced to enhance an injectable system.
- Composite hydrogel showed great mechanical properties, biological compatibility and fast gelation speed.
- CNWs worked as an effective cross-linker.
- Mechanical property was influenced by both CNWs content and gelation temperature.
