摘要: Bio-nanocomposites have been developed using cross-linked chitosan and thermoplastic starch along with acid functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNT). The nanocomposites were characterized for mechanical, wear, thermal properties. results revealed that the exhibited enhanced mechanical composites containing 3% f-MWCNT showed maximum compression strength. Tribological studies that, addition of small amount f-MWCNTs slide wear loss reduced up to 25%. SEM analysis predominantly brittle fractured surface. Thermal incorporation has improved stability nanocomposites.
