Preparation and Characterization of K-Carrageenan/Nanosilica Biocomposite Film [PDF]

Journal of Materials, 2014
The purpose of this study is to improve the performance properties of K-carrageenan (K-CRG) by utilizing nanosilica (NSI) as the reinforcing agent. The composite films were prepared by solution casting method. NSI was added up to 1.5% in the K-CRG matrix.
