A new technique, called vapor induced phase inversion (VIPI), has been employed to fabricate cellulose micro crystals(CMC) -loaded chitosan(Ch) films and curcumin loaded Chitosan/cellulose micro crystals (CMC) composite films. The method involves immediate exposure of CMC-dispersed chitosan solution to ammonia gas. The swelling ratio (SR) of films showed negative dependence on the cellulose content in the films. The dynamic water uptake data were interpreted by various kinetic models. The CMC-loaded chitosan film showed slower release as compared to the plain chitosan film, suggesting that...
