About this document
Bioplastic Film from Gadung Starch and Chitosan by sri Indah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes research on preparing bioplastic films from gadung starch and chitosan plasticized with glycerol. Films with varying compositions of starch and chitosan were created using solvent casting. Testing showed that adding more chitosan increased tensile strength but decreased flexibility of the films. Films with more chitosan also absorbed more water. Atomic force microscopy indicated the films had a smooth, homogeneous surface without pores or cracks. The research aims to develop sustain
