Fabrication and Characterization of Biodegradable Composite Films Made of Using Poly(caprolactone) Reinforced with Chitosan
TL;DR: In this article, the chitosan was dissolved in 2 % aqueous acetic acid solution and the films were prepared by solution casting and the values of tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus (TM), elongation at break (Eb %) and water vapor permeability (WVP) of the chitsan films were found to be 30 MPa, 450 MPa and 4.7 g mm/m2 day kPa, respectively.

Size-dependent mechanical behavior of free-standing glassy polymer thin films
Wenjie Xia,Sinan Keten +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used molecular dynamics simulations to uncover the dependence of elastic modulus (E) of free-standing films on film thickness and bulk properties, and they found that the free-surface effects that give rise to a depression in E and Tg are stronger for polymers with weaker intermolecular interactions.
Network formation of graphene oxide in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this article, a modification of poly[3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) by graphene oxide (GO) is presented, where important thermal properties such as glass transition temperatures, melting temperatures, heat of fusion and thermal decomposition temperatures are reported.
