Mechanical and thermal properties of carboxymethyl fibers (CMF)/PVA based nanocomposite membranes
Carboxymethyl fibers (CMF) of cellulose are renewable biopolymer and have shown strong reinforcing properties when added to a compatible polymer matrix. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of CMF on the mechanical, thermal and swelling properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) memb...
