Abstract:The growing concerns surrounding food loss and waste, coupled with the amplified need for effective antimicrobial technologies due to the COVID‐19 pandemic have highlighted the significance of antimicrobial solutions. This study introduces novel polymer‐based antibacterial films to address such challenges by combining antibacterial properties with durability. Using stearyldiethanolamine (C18DEA) as the active ingredient, the polyethylene‐based (PE) film is designed to prevent bacterial growth on its surface. T… Show more
