T10%: temperature at 10% weight loss; Td2: degradation temperature at the second stage of weight loss; Td3: degradation temperature at the third stage of weight loss. a–c Least square means with different letters within MC films are significantly different (p < 0.05). A–C Least square means with different letters within MC-SNC nanocomposite films are significantly different (p < 0.05).
