Descripción

In this study, chitosan films were fabricated with varying concentrations of glycerol and propylene carbonate as additives to investigate their impact on both structural and mechanical properties. In order to identify structural changes Infrared Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffractometry techniques were utilized, unveiling subtle structural differences present within the chitosan films. Furthermore, the mechanical properties unveiled a substantial augmentation in the mechanical attributes of the chitosan films, suggesting a synergetic effect of glycerol and propylene carbonate on mechanical performance. These findings bear paramount significance across diverse industrial sectors, with particular emphasis on sustainable packaging solutions.
