This thesis presents the fabrication of biodegradable polymer blends and composites with the assistance of ionic liquids. The work included preparation and characterization of cellulose/PCL blend films, cellulose/ PCL-PDMS-PCL blend films, cellulose/ PVAL blend films and cellulose/clay composite films. An efficient and feasible approach of reducing plastic pollution was developed.
