Tannic-Acid-Cross-Linked and TiO2-Nanoparticle-Reinforced Chitosan-Based Nanocomposite Film

Abstract: A chitosan-based nanocomposite film with tannic acid (TA) as a cross-linker and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2) as a reinforcing agent was developed with a solution casting technique. TA and TiO2 are biocompatible with chitosan, and this paper studied the synergistic effect of the cross-linker and the reinforcing agent. The addition of TA enhanced the ultraviolet blocking and mechanical properties of the chitosan-based nanocomposite film. The reinforcement of TiO2 in chitosan/TA further improved the nano… Show more

“…In addition, Chitosan and tannic acid even though is reported to present a yellow colour aspect, the addition of MFC led to a more transparent colour, indicating a strong interaction between these compounds [23].…”

“…Polymer intermolecular crosslinking improves a film’s mechanical and hydrophobic properties and creates integrated complex networks by forming chemical bonds (intramolecular or intermolecular) with molecular polymer chains [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. As a low-toxic natural crosslinking agent for both chitosan and gelatin, genipin could be an ideal choice for making crosslinked chitosan/gelatin-based films [ 24 , 25 ].…”

“…FC-C films showed the highest DPPH and ABTS activity because of curcumin and the active antioxidant biopolymer, chitosan. The hydroxyl and amino groups of chitosan interacted with free radicals and exhibited the radical scavenging activity (Roy et al, 2021). In addition to this, antioxidant activity of curcumin was originated from phenolic hydroxyl group and methylene group of β-diketone moiety (Priyadarsini et al, 2003).…”
