Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a biocomposite using a chitosan matrix reinforced with morphed graphene, achieving a 40-50% increase in yield and compressive strength compared to pure chitosan.
- The mechanical properties, including fracture toughness, saw significant improvements, although Young's modulus decreased by about 10%.
- These biocomposites are sustainable, compostable, and made from waste products, presenting a promising eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics.
