Abstract
The solution casting method was used to prepare N-succinyl chitosan/cellulose acetate (NSCCA)-based bionanocomposite films. Bentonite (BN) was added as a nanofiller to the solution mixture (NSC/CA) and chitosan (CS) was used as a control. The NSCCA-based bionanocomposite films were characterized using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis, water contact angle (WCA), water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), moisture content (MC), water solubility (WS), opacity, and tensile strength (TS). FTIR and XRD results confirmed the interaction between bentonite, chitosan, and N-succinyl chitosan (NSC). With the incorporation of CA and BN into the CS-NSC matrix, the MC, WS, WAC, and WVTR values decreased, whereas the opacity value (7.74 ± 0.32) of the bionanocomposite film increased significantly compared to pure CS film (2.12 ± 0.62). These findings suggested that the prepared bionanocomposites films could be effectively used for food packaging applications.
