Here, we discuss recent advances in the understanding of ...

Biodegradable kefiran-chitosan-nanocellulose blend film: Production and physical, barrier, mechanical, thermal, and structural properties

In this study, biodegradable kefiran-chitosan-nanocellulose blend films were developed and their physical, mechanical, barrier, thermal and structural properties determined. Results showed that adding nanocellulose had not any significant effect on the thickness, moisture content and water solubility. Also, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and lightness increased and the elongation at...
