Cellulose nanocrystals/ZnO as a bifunctional reinforcing nanocomposite for poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan blend films: fabrication, characterization and properties

In this study, cellulose nanocrystals/zinc oxide (CNCs/ZnO) nanocomposites were dispersed as bifunctional nano-sized fillers into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (Cs) blend by a solvent casting method to prepare PVA/Cs/CNCs/ZnO bio-nanocomposites films. The morphology, thermal, mechanical and...
