Processing and analysis of chitosan nanocomposites reinforced with chitin whiskers and tannic acid as a crosslinker

Chitosan film reinforced with nano-sized chitin whiskers and crosslinked using tannic acid was synthesized by the casting-vaporation method. The mechanical and physicochemical properties of several film samples (consisting of different ratio of chitin and tannic acid) were compared with neat chitosa...
