Sorption and Mechanical Properties of Chitosan/Graphene Oxide Composite Systems

Аннотация

New film-type composite systems containing an inorganic filler, graphene oxide, in the chitosan matrix were elaborated. The mechanical and sorption properties of the resulting chitosan/graphene oxide composites were examined in dependence on to the filler content. It was shown that insertion of graphene oxide makes chitosan films more stable in aqueous media and also considerably improves the mechanical and sorption properties of composites as compared with chitosan films.
