%X This paper prepared a new kind of carbon dots-polyvinyl alcohol-carboxymethyl cellulose composite film with antibacterial properties. Carbon dots and citric acid were used as cross-linking agents, and polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethyl cellulose were used as matrices respectively. The mechanical properties, UV shielding performance, thermal stability, antioxidant capability, and antibacterial activities of the carbon dots-polyvinyl alcohol-carboxymethyl cellulose composite film were researched. The prepared carbon dots-polyvinyl alcohol-carboxymethyl cellulose composite film was applied in the strawberry freshness preservation test. And test results indicated that the carbon dots-polyvinyl alcohol-carboxymethyl cellulose composite film could prevent rotting and extend the shelf life of strawberries. This carbon dots-polyvinyl alcohol-carboxymethyl cellulose composite film could be applied in the food active packaging field.
