In this work, degradable biocomposite films were developed from sodium alginate (SA) biopolymer and the leaves of two naturally available medicinal plants, i.e., neem (Azadirachta indica) and aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller), for biomedical application purposes. The solvent-casting method was used to fabricate the films, and 1 wt% of the medicinal plant leaf extract was employed during the film casting. Various characterization was performed to assess the performances of the developed biocomposite films, such as tensile testing, moisture content, FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy, TGA (thermogravimetric analysis), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and biodegradation (in soil medium) testing. Furthermore, gamma (γ) radiation of 6.0 kGy dose was applied to boost up the performance of the studied films. A positive response in the physico-mechanical properties was exhibited as a function of γ-ray exposure in the biocomposite films. The studied films exhibited high transparency and have the potential to be applied as useful material for biomedical applications such as wound dressing, and antimicrobial bandages.
