Chitin and Cellulose Spray Coated Nanomaterials for Sustainable Barrier Applications

摘要

Successful spray coating of chitin & cellulose nanomaterials onto non-wetting polymer surfaces Reduction of oxygen permeability of composite material as a result of spray coating process Chitin & CNC acting synergistically to produce more transparent and better barrier materials than Chitin or CNCs alone possibly due to layer densificaton Successful application of Chitin/CNC coated PLA films to printed electronic devices Embrittlement of material which could possibly be solved with inclusion of plasticizers.
