Composite films samples: control or FL1 (CA + SA); FL2: CA + SA + OEO (1.5% v/v); FL3: CA + SA + OEO (2% v/v); FL4: CA + SA + OEO (2.5% v/v). EB: elongation at break, Ym: Young’s modulus; TS: tensile strength, PD: puncture deformation; PF: puncture force. Findings are stated as means ± standard deviation. The letters a–d (superscript) represents the difference between the mean values (p < 0.05).
