Ultra-high-strength composite films prepared from NMMO solutions of bamboo-derived dissolving pulp and chitosan

Regenerated cellulose (RC) films have numerous separation and purification applications. However, the mechanical properties of RC films are poor. Because of their very similar chemical structures and excellent compatibility, chitosan (CS) particles were chosen to reinforce bamboo-derived dissolving pulp (BP)-based films. BP/CS blend solutions were obtained by mixing BP and CS particles at different weight percentages into...
