Biodegradable Hybrid Polymer Film for Packaging: A Review

Biodegradable film-based packaging is a current concern to replace packa-ging that depends on petroleum. This is because petroleum-based packa-ging is very unfriendly to the environment. The bioresource-basedbiodegradable film has the disadvantage that its mechanical properties arestill low, that it requires two or three bioresource materials to be used aspolymer hybrids. As a film hybrid polymer that has superior properties suchas flexibility, strength, heat resistance, and environmental resistance, it canbe applied to various packaging materials and can be developed for variouspurposes. In this review, the authors review biomass sources as a matrix, asa filler in hybrid polymer-based packaging, the properties of the biodegrad-able file, and the development for the future. In addition to the raw materialsas matrices and fillers, the synthesis method is also described. The propertiesof biodegradable hybrid polymer film include physicochemical, mechanical,and thermal. This review also summarizes the emerging aspects of biore-sources for the development of sustainable and biodegradable hybrid poly-mer film friendly to the environment.
