What are the drawbacks of chitosan thin films?

16 September 2016 1 10K Report

Can anyone introduce me papers about the disadvantages or the drawbacks of chitosan thin films?

Thank you in advance

You may wish to consult the review article Chitosan in Nanostructured Thin Films, by Pavinatto et al. (Biomacromolecules 11, 1897–1908 (2010)), which mostly discusses the advantages of these films.
