Abstract
⺠Chitosan and starch-based biodegradable films were prepared by casting. ⺠With the increase of chitosan in starch, the strength of the films improved significantly. ⺠Monomer, 2-Butane diol-diacrylate was grafted with the films by gamma radiation. ⺠Mechanical properties of synthetic polymeric films improved by gamma radiation. ⺠The irradiated polymer films showed better water vapor barrier properties.
