|
Use of natural polymers from renewable resources has been increasing in recent years due to their excellent performance over existing petro-polymers which are non-environmental friendly. Films prepared from natural polymers such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids etc., have wide application over packaging sector. Sodium alginate is the sodium salt of alginic acid, which a polyuronide is made up of a sequence of two hexuronic acids: beta-D mannuronic acid and alpha-L guluronic acid. Films obtained from Sodium Alginate hydrocollidal compounds are bio-degradable and bio-compatible with better gel forming and film forming capabilities. The objective of this follow up is to enhance the physical properties of sodium alginate film, prepared with various compositions of CaCl2 and Nanoclay compounds using casting method. |
