Article Synopsis
  • Researchers created nanocomposite films by combining cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) with a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and starch (S) blend using the solution casting technique.
  • They tested different compositions of PVA and S to see how different amounts of CNC affected the films' structure and properties, using methods like infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.
  • The study found that the addition of CNC and variations in PVA/S ratios significantly influenced the films' crystallinity, structural interactions, and surface roughness.
