The Enhanced Moisture Absorption and Tensile Strength of PVA/<i>Uncaria gambir</i> Extract by Boric Acid as a Highly Moisture-Resistant, Anti-UV, and Strong Film for Food Packaging Applications

The Enhanced Moisture Absorption and Tensile Strength of PVA/<i>Uncaria gambir</i> Extract by Boric Acid as a Highly Moisture-Resistant, Anti-UV, and Strong Film for Food Packaging Applications

There is an increasing demand for food packaging materials that are safe for the environment and human health. Pure polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film is non-toxic and transparent but has poor UV-light shielding, thermal and moisture resistance, and antibacterial activity. Our previous work prepared and c...
