Development and characterization study of silk filament reinforced chitosan biocomposite

The present work aims to explore the use of a silk filament (SF) as a reinforced material in chitosan matrix to develop low-cost biocomposite using the solution casting technique. The biocomposites were assessed for their physiochemical, mechanical, as well as thermal properties. Fourier-transform i...
