Investigating real-time phenomena in bio-polymers has received much attention because of their increasing
demands in polymer substitution. The3Dmorphometry of polymer surfaces may be very impactful in such studies. Here, digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is applied for quantitative measurement of the rare morphological changes of UV-A and UV-C exposed nanocomposites during their incubation with excess water. By reconstructing
the recorded successive digital holograms, the time evolution of the swelled regions of the samples is derived. Our results clearly show that the higher water swelling of UV-A irradiated starch/kefiran/ZnO may be attributed to its
higher hydrophilicity.
