The effect of the electron beam on the mechanical properties of fabricated jackfruit seed starch: polyvinyl alcohol (JSS:PVA) blend film has been investigated. The blend polymer was prepared with the addition of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl), and 0.1 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The blend compositions were cast by using the solution casting plate technique. With an increased PVA composition in the blend ration, the mechanical properties of the blend including tensile strength, strain and young modulus were improved. The FT-IR results indicated that by raising the PVA in the blend composition, the bonding structure of the blend increased as shown at the 3296 cm-1, 1639 cm-1, and 1039 cm-1 peak. The mechanical and structural properties of the blend sample improved by increasing the irradiated percentage dose rate. © 2021 Author(s).
