Synthesis of nanocellulose and fabrication of nanocellulose-chitosannanocomposite and investigation of its strength properties

In this study, cellulose nanoparticle was first synthesized, and this nanoparticle was evaluated byFTIR and XRD techniques ;then, chitosan and chitosan-nanocellulose films were prepared. Tocheck the structural properties and surface morphology of the films, characterization was done byusing an electron microscope. SEM electron microscope images showed that the chitosan film’ssurface was smooth. Adding cellulose nanoparticles to chitosan film created a homogeneous anddense structure on the surface. Also, the strength test results showed that the addition of cellulosenanoparticles to chitosan improved mechanical properties and increased tensile strength
