Developing efficient and biodegradable packaging films is of paramount significance owing to the scarcity of petroleum based resources. However, their applications in food packaging are limited due to their poor mechanical properties and inadequate biological activities. This study proposes a novel approach to develop the starch composite nanofibrous films (SNFs/TA/Fe(3+)) consisting of starch, tannic acid, and Fe(3+) using the temperature-assisted electrospinning method. The addition of TA resulted in a decrease in the rate of thermal degradation, indicating an improvement in the thermal stab...
