Abstract

Chitosan is a biopolymer, which is an amino polysaccharide derived from the N-deacetylation of chitin. It is a natural polymer because of the presence of degradable enzyme Chitosan. Chitosan is blended with synthetic polymer PVA with formaldehyde enhances the thermal stability. Thermogravimetric ana...
