Abstract

The growing environmental and health concerns regarding non-biodegradable and toxic packaging materials have intensified the pursuit of sustainable alternatives. This study explores the fabrication of composite films and coatings utilizing a blend of Tempo-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCNF) and hyaluronic acid (HA), coordinated with calcium chloride (CaCl2). The resulting composite films demonstrated water vapor permeability (WVP) and oxygen permeability (OP) values of 85.21 g·μm·m-2·day–1·kPa–1 and 9.72 mL·μm·m–2·day–1·atm–1, respectively. When the film was transferred onto kraft paper, the coated paper exhibited 12/12 kit rating for oil resistance, thereby effectively impeding the penetration of hot oil at 230 °C. Moreover, the films exhibited excellent transparency, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. This research contributes to advancing the field of sustainable packaging by introducing a non-fluorinated and hot-oil resistant bio-based film material with potential for industrial applications.
