Extensive usage of long-lasting petroleum based plastics for short-lived application such as packaging has raised concerns regarding their role in environmental pollution. In this research, we have developed active, healable, and safely dissolvable alginate-pectin based biocomposites that have potential applications in food packaging. The morphological study revealed the rough surface of these biocomposite films. Tensile properties indicated that the fabricated samples have mechanical properties in the range of commercially available packaging films while possessing excellent healing efficiency. Biocomposite films exhibited higher hydrophobicity properties compared to neat alginate films. Thermal analysis indicated that crosslinked biocomposite samples possess higher thermal stability in temperatures below 120 °C, while antibacterial analysis against and revealed the antibacterial properties of the prepared samples against different bacteria. The fabricated biodegradable multi-functional biocomposite films possess various imperative properties, making them ideal for utilization as packaging material.
将持久的石油基塑料广泛用于如包装等短期应用，引发了人们对其在环境污染中所起作用的担忧。在本研究中，我们开发了具有活性、可自愈且能安全溶解的藻酸盐-果胶基生物复合材料，其在食品包装中具有潜在应用价值。形态学研究揭示了这些生物复合膜的粗糙表面。拉伸性能表明，所制备的样品具有与市售包装膜相当的机械性能，同时具备出色的自愈效率。与纯藻酸盐膜相比，生物复合膜表现出更高的疏水性。热分析表明，交联的生物复合样品在低于120°C的温度下具有更高的热稳定性，而针对[具体细菌名称1]和[具体细菌名称2]的抗菌分析显示，所制备的样品对不同细菌具有抗菌性能。所制备的可生物降解多功能生物复合膜具有多种重要性能，使其成为理想的包装材料。
