Preparation and Properties of Nano Coir Cellulose Whiskers Enhanced CS/PVA Composite Film

Nano coir cellulose whiskersare materials abstracted from mesocarp of coconut shell which was modified by using KH570 as a coupling agent and modified nano coir cellulose whiskers need to be dispersed in chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) mixture solution. Because of regular structure and high crystallinity, nano coir cellulose whiskers could be applied in medical materials.In this paper, the results obtained with solution casting method by...
