Biocomposite films containing graphene oxide (GO), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and chitosan (CS) were prepared using the casting/evaporation technique. These as‐prepared films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy....
