Glutaraldehyde crosslinked gelatin kaolin bionanocomposite films were prepared by casting method and characterized various techniques water vapour transmission rates sorption studies performed. The FTIR study revealed the interaction between functional groups of evidenced shifting some spectral peaks. grain size was calculated to be 29 nm from XRD analysis crystallinity 62 %. SEM AFM suggested ...

Polylactide (PLA) is the oldest and potentially one of the most interesting and useful biodegradable man-made polymers because of its renewable origin, controlled synthesis, good mechanical properties, and inherent biocompatibility. The blending of PLA with functional nanoparticles can yield a new class of hybrid materials, commonly known as bionanocomposites, where 1-5% nanoparticles by volume...
