Fabrication and characterization of composite biodegradable films from chitosan and corn silk

Composite biodegradable film made from chitosan has been most potential type of packaging especially in food packaging. It has caught many reserches and scientist attention to fully utilize its function as it posses not great physical properties to produce films, it is also environmental friendly an...
