Abstract:Natural based film have been studied as a possible replacement for the conventional films because it can be developed from natural sources. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of acetylation contact time to the physical and mechanical properties of the jackfruit rind based cellulose acetate film. Acetylation of jackfruit rind based cellulose was studied and samples with different degree of substitution were obtained as a function of contact time from 1 hour to 24 hours. The products were charact… Show more
