Polymer Films for Packaging Materials

Migration of Nonylphenols from Polymer Packaging Materials into Food Simulants

Votavová L., Dobiáš J., Voldřich M., Čížková H. (2009): Migration of nonylphenols from polymer packaging materials into food simulants. Czech J. Food Sci., 27: 293–299. p-Nonylphenol (NP) is widely used in many industrial applications (detergents, latex paints, pesticides, and plastics), and its presence in the environment has acquired an increasing concern since it was shown to be, besides its...

The Use of Films as Suitable Packaging Materials for Minimally Processed Foods - a Review

Antimicrobial nanostructured starch based films for packaging.

Montmorillonite modified with a quaternary ammonium salt C30B/starch nanocomposite (C30B/ST-NC), silver nanoparticles/starch nanocomposite (Ag-NPs/ST-NC) and both silver nanoparticles/C30B/starch nanocomposites (Ag-NPs/C30B/ST-NC) films were produced. The nanoclay (C30B) was dispersed in a starch solution using an ultrasonic probe. Different concentrations of Ag-NPs (0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0mM) we...

Development of Polymer Packaging for Power Cable

S. Sremac, P. Gladović, M. Đelošević, B. Matić, A. Matić, Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia. This paper discusses the issues of product design and the procedure of developing polymer packaging as one of the most important engineering tasks. For the purpose of packing power cables a polymer packaging has been designed in the form of drum. Packaging and many ...

Biopolymer-based Lightweight Materials for Packaging Applications

This chapter offers an overview of the biopolymer-based lightweight materials with respect to their potential for packaging applications. The biopolymer-based materials have garnered increasing attention to packaging market due to the concerns from both environmental and economical perspectives of traditional petroleum based polymers in recent years. The largely use of these traditional synthet...
