Abstract

Utilizing microbial cotton nanotubes, a photovoltaic enclosing membrane based on polyethylene adipate monomer (EVA) was developed. EVA was pre-treated with a butyric acid alkaline solution before being combined in a dual extruder. The effect of fibre on the tensile, thermal, and photonic properties of EVA composite films, as well as their blocking characteristics, has been investigated. Once altered BC signalling was utilised, the mechanical and repellent characteristics of the EVA coatings improved. The findings are attributed to the various pharmacological functional groups of the filament, as confirmed by XRD spectra. Demethylation of the EVA was postponed, and the light source opacity of the EVA sheets was maintained at or greater than 80%. Ultimately, our investigation demonstrated that only by employing an appropriate kind and amount of cellulosic was it feasible to increase the barrier qualities of EVA film with compromising significant clarity.
