Abstract:

The growing demand for sustainable packaging materials has driven research toward the development of biodegradable polymer-based films with enhanced functional properties. This study aims to characterize the biodegradation properties of PVA/AKD/ZnO using soil burial method. PVA/AKD/ZnO films were prepared by solvent casting method at concentrations of 10 w/v %, 3 wt%, and 1 wt%, respectively. The films were subjected to soil burial degradation for 15, 30, 45, and 60 days, and their degradation behavior was monitored over time. The surface morphology, chemcial interactions, and thermal properties was determined by comparing the initial and post-degradation sample behavior. The outcomes of this study are anticipated to support the development of biodegradable materials for active food packaging applications.
