“…Overall, the use of biopolymers in the preparation and characterization of different types of nanocomposite films is considered to be an innovative strategy for minimizing potentially negative environmental impacts (Roy et al, 2020;Yang, Dahlström, Edlund, Lindman, & Norgren, 2019). For example, the preparation and characterization of films constituted of chitosan and donor (or acceptor) materials (e.g., graphene, polyelectrolytes) have been reported by other authors for potential technological applications (e.g., gas transport, filtration, anticorrosion, biomedical, fuel cell, solar cells, batteries, sensors and supercapacitors) (Ahmed, Mulla, & Arfat, 2017;Eren, 2019;Yang, Liu, Kong, Kang, & Ran, 2019;Yu et al, 2020;Zainudin et al, 2018;Zolfagharian, Kaynak, Khoo, & Kouzani, 2018). However, due to the different hydrophobic/ hydrophilic characters of a blend`s component materials, immiscibility issues, regardless of the composition and nature of the polymers, can arise (Bonardd et al, 2020;Méndez-López et al, 2018).…”
