NEW COMPOSITE MATERIALS BASED ON CHITOSAN

Composition films based on chitosan and adipic acid reinforced with nanocellulose were obtained. Using IR spectroscopy, the structure of composite films and the effect of nanocellulose content on the properties were studied. The surface of composite films was studied using the SEM method and it was found that with the addition of nanocellulose, the surface of the films undergoes changes and becomes rougher. Termogravimetric analysis established that the addition of 1,5 wt. % nanocellulose does not significantly affect the thermal stability of the resulting films.
