摘要
The present study investigates the biopolymer packaging film developed from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with varying concentrations of natural rubber latex (NR) and oxidised natural rubber latex (ONR) using the solvent casting method. The physicochemical properties of the CMC/NR and CMC/ONR film samples were characterised using FTIR, TG/DTA, DSC, SEM, and XRD analysis. The increased concentration of NR and ONR helped to enhance mechanical characteristics, superior UV resistance, enhanced resistance to oxygen and water vapour penetration, improved dimensional stability, and a reduction in the moisture retention ability of the film samples. The CMC sample film, incorporated with 1.5 g ONR, was found to have more than a 100 % increase in the tensile strength. The tensile value increased from 21.56 MPa to 48.36 MPa, with the highest young modulus of 0.73 GPa and elastic stability of 7.14 %. The incorporation of NR and ONR significantly reduced the super water absorbency nature of the CMC film, and the moisture content values reduced from 21.6 % to ≅ 0.15 % for ONR-incorporated film. Additionally, the CMC/NR and CMC/ONR films exhibited high optical transparency values and were found to be fast biodegradable, substantiating their potential use in various packaging applications. Application of these materials in perishable fruit packaging has shown significant enhancement in shelf life, highlighting their practical efficiency and potential for sustainable packaging solutions.
