Preparation and Characterization of EG-Chitosan Nanocomposites via Direct Exfoliation: A Green Methodology

In this study, free-standing expanded graphite chitosan (EG-chitosan) nanocomposite films have been prepared using a novel green and simple preparation method, starting from a commercial expandable graphite (GIC). The in situ exfoliation of GIC by a solvent-free sonication method was monitored as a...
