“…The film was also sensitive to different media with varying pH levels, making it a promising option for smart packaging. Recently, according to studies conducted by Sayah et al [116], a gelatin film was developed and functionalized with illite, smectite, and chamomile extract to create a potentially active film. The combination of clays and plant extract affected the properties of the biofilm, resulting in better barrier and mechanical properties.…”

Research to replace petroleum-based plastics has been quite challenging. Currently, there is a lot of interest in biopolymers as an alternative. However, biopolymers do not have suitable mechanical properties when in film form, which limits their applications. To resolve this issue, clay minerals are being incorporated as a strategy. Clay minerals offer the films good barrier, thermal, rheological, optical, and mechanical properties. They can also work with other additives to promote antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. This brief review focuses on incorporating clay minerals with other nanofillers and bioactives to improve their physical, chemical, and functional characteristics. The synergy of these materials gives the films exceptional properties and makes them suitable for applications such as food coatings, packaging materials, dressings, and bandages for treating skin wounds.
