Electrospun Cellulose Nanocrystals/Chitosan/Polyvinyl Alcohol Nanofibrous Films and their Exploration to Metal Ions Adsorption
Cellulose nanocrystals/chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CNC/CS/PVA) composite nanofibrous films were prepared while using an electrospinning technique and successfully thiol-functionalized. Then, the modified films were used for the sorption-desorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions. Subsequently, the adsorpt...
