Abstract

Iron oxide/cellulose nanocomposite film is fabricated by impregnation of iron oxide nanoparticles into a regenerated cellulose film. The crystal structure, chemical functional group, morphological analysis, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the nanocomposite films are investigated by the wide-angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and mechanical pull test. The investigated results show that the iron oxide is interacted with hydroxyl groups of the regenerated cellulose film. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of iron oxide/cellulose films are significantly enhanced up to 39% and 57% of pristine regenerated cellulose film, respectively.
