Abstract

A polymeric blend of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/sodium alginate (Na-CMC/Na–Alg) films was prepared by using Glycerin, Honey, and Tween (80) as plasticizers (surfactants). In addition to optical and structural investigations, the collected films were characterized using FTIR. By adding suitable values of surfactants, the results of XRD displayed that the surfactants dispersed in the blend matrix and the crystalline peaks may have broadened to the extent that they fused into each other and created broad hump peaks which pinpointed the amorphization of the surfactants. FTIR clarified the interaction and complexation between the Na-CMC/Na–Alg polymer matrix functional groups and surfactants, especially Tween (80). The optical properties of Na-CMC/Na–Alg could be effectively achieved with the addition of surfactants. Furthermore, the band gaps were reduced when surfactants were added, perhaps because surfactant atoms act as localized electronic meta-states that allow electrons to jump through polymeric chains more easily. The computed EHOMO and ELUMO energies illustrated that charge transfer occurs within the polymer structure. SEM clarified the non-homogenous mixing of surfactant molecules leads to aggregation and separation of surfactant molecules from the polymer matrix during the drying process. The antimicrobial effect of Na-CMC/Na–Alg films with surfactants against different strains exhibits the ubiquity or not of the explicit inhibition district. As a result, changes in the structure of biopolymeric films result in significant improvements in optical, structural, and antibacterial properties.
