&lt;p&gt;The synthesis of chitosan–TiO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; film composite using sorbitol as plasticizer has been conducted. This research aims to develop environmental friendly plastic material which is safe for health due to the use of biodegradable chitosan - TiO&lt;sub&gt;2 &lt;/sub&gt;that can block UV rays and therefore, maintain the quality of product from damage caused by UV rays. The anatase phase TiO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; nanocrystal was synthesized in chitosan matrix at room temp
