Sodium alginate-assisted route to antimicrobial biopolymer film combined with aminoclay for enhanced mechanical behaviors

Considerable attention has been paid to the utilization of eco-friendly biopolymer-based composites in such areas as bioscience, packaging, and tissue engineering. However, the drawbacks of biopolymers, for instance, low mechanical performance and high water absorption, present obvious challenges. In this study, we fabricated a better-performing bio-film from soy protein isolate (SPI) that was modified by oxidized sodium alginate and silver...
