Improvement of Physico-Mechanical, Thermomechanical, Thermal and Degradation Properties of PCL/Gelatin Biocomposites: Effect of Gamma Radiation

This research was to study the effects of gelatin content variation and gamma radiation after the 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA) pre-treatment on the foundamental properties of gelatin film laminated polycaprolactone (PCL) biocomposites. PCL/gelatin film (PCL/GF) composites were fabricated by compressi...
