FTIR AND TGA STUDIES OF CHITOSAN COMPOSITE FILMS

The synthesis of chitosan and resulting chitosan composite films was carried out using glycerol, tween, and beeswax as additives to prepare the composites films, after which a complete study by FTIR was carried out for all the chitosan composite films. Several differences in the absorption bands wer...
