Fabrication of PVA polymer films with improved antibacterial activity by fine-tuning via organic acids for food packaging applications
Abstract In this study, organic acids were used as cross-linker with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films prepared by a solution-casting method for food packing applications. The effect of incorporating three different organic acids, i.e., malic acid (MA), tartaric acid (TA), and lactic acid (LA), on the p...
