Popis: The paper focuses on the development and characterization of bionanocomposite films based on fish skin gelatin (FSG) and bimetallic Ag-Cu nanoparticles (Ag-Cu NPs). Effects of Ag-Cu NPs loadings on the thermal, mechanical, rheological, structural, and antibacterial properties of the gelatin-based films were investigated. An increase in tensile strength (TS), and a decrease in elongation at break (EAB) recorded while nanocomposite (NC) films were loaded with 2% (w/w) NPs. Nevertheless, both parameters (TS and EAB) dropped drastically with further addition of NPs (p
