Preparation and Characterization of Cellulose Films with Curcumin

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cellulose film was prepared from regenerated cellulose fiber residue by dissolving the cellulose in sodium hydroxide solution at low temperature (-15 °C). The properties of the prepared film were investigated by tensile testing, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and also swelling ratio. Curcumin was added into the film with three different concentrations. The color strength of the curcumin-added film was evaluated and the color change of this film in different pH was also reported.
