Effect of Clay Nanofillers on the Mechanical and Water Vapor Permeability Properties of Xylan–Alginate Films
In this study, xylan–alginate-based films were reinforced with nanoclays (bentonite or halloysite) by the solvent casting technique. The effect of the nanoclay loadings (1–5 wt %) on various properties—mechanical, optical, thermal, solubility, water sorption, and water vapor permeability (WVP)—of th...
