Facile preparation of graphene-based chitosan films: enhanced thermal, mechanical and antibacterial properties

Chitosan is considered a model polymer because of its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial property and metal binding ability. Despite the favorable properties, the poor mechanical strength and the loss of structural integrity limits the applications of chitosan. Graphene'...
