The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of acid hydrolysis time on microcrystalline chitin (MCC) filled polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites using solution casting method. MCC was produced from commercial chitin using controlled hydrolysis process at four different hydrolysis time; 1...
