Abstract: As two of the most abundant natural macromolecular compounds in the world, cellulose and chitin are renewable and have extensive sources. Just like most natural polymers, they are non-toxic, biodegradable and have good biocompatibility. Novel functional materials with properties of two components such as membrane, fiber and adsorption beads, prepared by blending with cellulose and chitin show a greatly application prospect.Research progress of cellulose/chitin blends in recent years is reviewed in this paper.

Key words: cellulose, chitin, blend materials
