Abstract
Chitosan/cellulose nanocrystals (CS/CNCs) composites were prepared with different contents of CNCs. Due to the homogeneous dispersion of CNCs and the strong interfacial interactions resulting from hydrogen bonding between CS chains and CNCs, the transparency of CS is well retained and the overall mechanical properties of CS are significantly improved. Furthermore, because both CS and CNCs are biocompatible materials, cell proliferation test shows that the obtained composites are noncytotoxic and can potentially meet safety requirements of biomedical applications. These advantages pave the way of potential applications of CS in the field of commercial plastics and encourage the use of CS as environment-friendly material and biomedical material.
