Functionalized blown films of plasticized polylactic acid/chitin nanocomposite: Preparation and characterization

Functionalized blown films of plasticized polylactic acid/chitin nanocomposite: Preparation and characterization

Bionanocomposite films prepared with melt compounding and film blowing were evaluated for packaging applications. The nanocomposite masterbatch with 75 wt.% polylactic acid (PLA), 5 wt.% chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) and 20 wt.% glycerol triacetate plasticizer (GTA) was melt compounded and then dilute...
