Abstract

In this report, a new nanocomposite based on chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/nanocrystalline cellulose (Cts/PVA/NCC) was synthesized. The morphology and particle size of NCC and nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. According to XRD results, the size of NCC was found to be at the range of 15 - 17 nm. SEM images showed the rod-like shape of NCC whiskers. Finally, biodegradation and swelling studies were performed on Cts/PVA/NCC nanocomposites.
