Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Composite Film Properties for Food Packaging

95.9 ± 4.1 MPa is the maximum tensile strength reported for the developed composite films. The dataset, authored by Xueqin Zhang and last updated in May 2026, describes the development and properties of functional films made from hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and ε-polylysine. It includes measurements for mechanical strength, UV-blocking, water vapor permeability, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between component proportion and mechanical properties based on the described chemical cross-linking.
• Evaluating UV-shielding performance for packaging materials based on the reported UV-A, UV-B, and UPF values.
• Assessing the shelf-life extension potential of biocomposite films based on the 6-day grape preservation test.
• Comparing water vapor permeability and swelling behavior of different biopolymer film formulations.

Strengths

• Reports specific, quantified material properties including tensile strength (95.9 ± 4.1 MPa) and elongation at break (148.8 ± 2.6%).
• Includes multiple performance metrics: UV-blocking (up to 99.99%), water vapor permeability, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility.
• Provides a concrete application result, showing grapes' shelf life was extended to 6 days using the film.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (665.4 KB), indicating a limited scope, likely summarizing experimental results rather than containing raw observational data.
