Novel Coir/Chitosan Composites for Packaging Applications

Composites are a popular choice in the current industrial scenario for number of reasons and their extensive use poses serious environmental issues. This prompts us to explore possibilities completely natural composites that can strike balance between performance ease disposal. In this regard, novel “Green” composite material constituting Chitosan as matrix conjunction with other reinforcements (Coir) is explored. Preliminary experimentation on fabrication was carried out obtain laminated coupons. Physical characteristics such density finish quality were analyzed used optimise process parameters. Test coupons prepared evaluated tensile properties. Further various food packages produced tested feasibility. article presents an early investigation into viability effectiveness chitosan production entirely appropriateness packaging applications.
