Abstract

Films of poly(vinyl alcohol)/wheat gluten (PVA/WG) polymer blends at different compositions were prepared by solution casting and then exposed to a constant dose of gamma irradiation.In addition, the PVA/WG polymer blends were modified by adding a constant ratio (4%) of tannic acid (TA) to the casting solution.The PVA/WG polymer blends before and after gamma irradiation as well as those modified b...
