Synergistic effect of hydrophilic palygorskite and hydrophobic zein particles on the properties of chitosan films

Chitosan (CS) with unique properties can interact with hydrophilic nanoclay and hydrophobic plant protein particles. In this study, we designed a CS matrix using hydrophilic palygorskite (PAL) nanoclay and hydrophobic zein particles (ZPs) as combined fillers for reinforcement. CS–PAL–ZP ternary comp...
