Starch-based biopolymers derived from renewable resources offer a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging. One of the main advantages of starch-based biopolymers is their ability to biodegrade, as well as being economical due to the availability and low cost of starch. This makes them more economically attractive for producers and consumers. Although there are still problems with improving their properties. This research centered on developing a biodegradable biofilm from oxidized corn starch and carboxymethylcellulose, using succinic anhydride as a crosslinker. The biofilm's mechanical strength, water absorption, and biodegradability were evaluated and compared to a commercial biopolymer. The biofilm exhibited a strength of 0.78 MPa, absorbed 0.21% water, and had a biodegradability rate of 0.008%. These findings suggest that the biofilm has significant potential for industrial applications, particularly in the biofilms and bioplastics sector. This study contributes to the ongoing global efforts to create sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic packaging, a critical aspect of environmental preservation. The promising characteristics of the synthesized biofilm indicate its potential to significantly influence the future of packaging materials. This research marks a progressive step in the pursuit of sustainable packaging solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
