Natural cuticle-inspired chitin/silk fibroin/cellulose nanocrystal biocomposite films: fabrication and characterization

This study aims at developing a green sustainable bio-inspired composite film by combining the flexible chitin/silk fibroin matrix (CT/SF) and the rigid cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) with the multi-layer chiral nematic structure. The effects of CNC concentration on the chemical bonding, optical- and...
