Physical and mechanical properties of water resistant sodium alginate films

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of sodium alginate films were modified using two different methods of CaCl2 treatment, i.e., the direct addition of caCl2 into film making solution (mixing films) and the immersion of alginates into CaCl 2 solutions (immersion films), and their treatment effects on tensile strength, percentage elongation at break (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) of the films were investigated.
