| Abstract Scope |
Rubber seed oil-based thin films are gaining attention as eco-friendly alternatives for various industrial applications, thanks to their biodegradability, cost-effectiveness, and abundance. To tailor these films for specific purposes, functionalization strategies have become essential. This review highlights the significance of functionalization in enhancing the mechanical attributes, thermal stability, barrier properties, and optical responses of rubber seed oil-based thin films. It explores various approaches, including physical and chemical methods, each with its distinct merits and challenges. The review comprehensively covers rubber seed oil-based thin films, their preparation details, and their potential as a renewable resource for thin film fabrication. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of functionalization, extensively examines strategies to advance the properties and applications of these promising materials and discusses future prospects and challenges. |
