On the other hand, TiO2 was found to be able to decompose ethylene gas through its photocatalyst reaction. To optimize the photocatalyst function, we made additional semiconductors to form TiO2/SnO2. To improve the mechanical properties of it, nanocellulose is used as a matrix on composites made. To determine the effect of the concentration of TiO2/SnO2, 3 different nanocomposite compositions were made with concentrations of TiO2/SnO2 of 5 wt%, 15 wt%, and 25 wt% of nanocellulose gel mass which were all applied to the acrylic sheet as a cover. X-ray diffraction shows the synthesis of TiO2/SnO2 produce anatase, rutile phase and cassiterite. Addition of nanocellulose to the composite give a good effect to adhesivity quality of nanocomposites to acrylic. Nanocomposites with 5 wt% of TiO2/SnO2 resulting the slowest fruit maturation rate when compared to other nanocomposites and uncoated acrylic.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0015866[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
