This work presents the preparation of waterborne latexes composed of hybrid casein/acrylate nanoparticles containing tannic acid, a plant derived phenolic compound, which is proposed as cross linker agent during film formation. This proposal allows extending the properties of hybrid casein/acrylate films by improving their water resistance, without degrading their mechanical strength, and providing them excellent UV-blocking properties and improved biodegradability
