Abstract
⺠NCC reinforced chitosan-based films were prepared by casting. ⺠Incorporation of only 5% (w/w) NCC improved the TS of the chitosan films by 24%. ⺠Favorable NCC-chitosan interaction and effective stress transfer. ⺠NCC incorporation enhanced the barrier properties of the films. ⺠SEM images revealed proper dispersion of NCC into chitosan matrix.
