Abstract:
Platelet nanoparticles could dramatically decrease permeability of polymeric film where increase considerably its physical -mechanical properties. Bio based (Biodegradable) polymeric materials such as starch based polymeric films show very weak mechanical and high oxygen and water vapor permeability. Graphene oxide (GO) could increase mechanical properties of starch based polymer where decrease its permeability dramatically. Addition of chitosan also could increase antibacterial and antifungal of films and decrease permeability of films considerably. In this research nanocomposite of Starch/Chitosan/GO films have been prepared by solution method and its morphology, permeability, physical and mechanical properties investigated and adjusted with change in concentration of chitosan, starch and graphene concentration. This package is resistant it increases shelf life of the bread and be not expensive
