Mechanical properties of films bioplastics based in seaweed from scientific literature

The present database investigates the effect of different combinations of components on the mechanical properties of seaweed-based bioplastics, with a specific focus on tensile strength and elongation at break, found in the scientific literature of the search engine Scopus. Following the hypothesis that varying compositions will significantly impact these properties, the basis provides a detailed breakdown of the standardized concentrations of each component in mass/mass or volume/volume percentages. Some notable findings include combinations of components that show substantial improvements in strength and elasticity, suggesting a focus on these materials for the development of biopolymeric film technology applications such as sustainable packaging manufacturing. This resource is useful for future research seeking to interpret or improve the properties of seaweed-based bioplastics.
