In recent decades, there has been extensive research in cellulose, cellulose-based particles and cellulose-based composites. Among the available biopolymer resources – lignocellulose and wood residues – are the most abundant polymers in nature, making them natural candidates as renewable and sustainable feedstocks for biomaterials and eco-products. In this study, we investigated the properties of wood-based nanoparticles in order to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the nanoparticles-doped chitosan films.
