To enhance the mechanical performance and ultraviolet shielding property, graphene oxide was incorporated as the functional nanofiller into a sodium alginate matrix to form a composite film via a solvent-casting method. The as-obtained films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal gravimetric; their mechanical and ultraviolet blocking properties were also systemically evaluated and compared. The results showed that the maximum tensile strength increased to 84?MPa at 6?wt.% graphene oxide loading, nearly 265% greater than that of pure sodium alginate film. The increased tensile strength may have resulted from the existence of hydrogen bonding and high interfacial adhesion between graphene oxide filler and sodium alginate matrix. Furthermore, the sodium alginate/graphene oxide films also demonstrated robust ultraviolet shielding capacity; the corresponding ultraviolet protection factor reached up to 133.61 at 8?wt.% graphene oxide loading.
