The aim of this paper was to synthesize and characterize microbial chitosan thin films for potential piezoelectric application. Microbial chitosan was derived from the Aspergillus oryzae fungus via extraction and deacetylation. Chitosan thin film was characterized for its surface morphology, chemica...
