Banana Trunk Fibers (BF) Immobilized in Chitosan (CS) Natural Composites (BF-i-CS), and Its Application in Controlled-Release of Pesticides

Novel green natural composites comprising of BF immobilized in CS (BF-i-CS) were prepared and characterized by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was observed that BF is not grafted to but widely dispe...
