This research aims to synthesize and characterize nanocomposite film with nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) durian peel waste filler. Nanocomposite film was prepared by adding NCC with concentrations of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% to each mixture of chitosan and guar gum. Characterization of nanocomposite film includes tensile strength test, elongation test, water-resistance test, and biodegradability. Nanocomposite film with NCC 7% showed a tensile strength value of 21.988 MPa; elongation of 10.3%; and experienced degradability of 4.05 mg/day, besides the characterization of the equal distribution of NCC in the chitosan-guar gum matrix was proven from the SEM results.
