Mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of starch films incorporated with chitosan nanoparticles

The mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of tapioca starch films produced using a solvent casting method with varying concentrations of chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35% w/w of solid starch) were investigated. The addition of 15% w/w CNP (size range: 20–50 nm) to the st...
