Table 1.
The visual aspects, homogeneities, and microstructures (SEM images) of uncoated (0:0, control) and coated paperboards with different numbers of coating layers (NCL). The polymers were used in different agar–agar/chitosan (AA:CHI) ratios.
Ratio (AA:CHI) | NCL | Visual Aspect | Homogeneity | |
