Preparation, characterization, and antibacterial performance of silane-modified nanofibrillated cellulose/ZnO hybrid-reinforced poly (lactic acid) composite films
PLA composite films with improved mechanical, barrier and antibacterial properties were prepared by solution casting using silane-functionalized nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC) and chitosan-encapsulated zinc oxide nanoparticles (CS-ZnO) as dual fillers. Nanofibrillated cellulose was first soaked in an aqueous solution...
