Many manufacturers are eager to alleviate the problem of chemical migration from food packaging, but progress in identifying viable alternative materials has been incremental at best.

in this study, the potential use of nano-coatings for food packaging industry has been investigated. therefore, this study has been presented in three sections: the application of nanocoatings in the food industry, natural, edible and biodegradable nano coatings. the use of nanoscale or multiatomic coatings have presented specific features in the packing industry. coatings which have shown thei...

The Institute of Food Technologists has issued this Scientific Status Summary to inform readers of recent innovations in food packaging materials.

Title of Document: The Development of Food Polymer-Based Nanocomposites as Novel Antimicrobial Agents and Sustainable Packaging Materials Boce Zhang, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012

The reliability of microelectronic devices is largely dependent on electronic packaging, which includes heat removal. The appropriate packaging design therefore necessitates precise knowledge of the relevant material properties, including thermal resistance and thermal conductivity. Thin materials and high conductivity layers make their thermal characterization challenging. A steady state measu...

PURPOSE Although all contact lenses (CLs) are applied initially to the eye directly from a packaging solution, little is known about the effects of these solutions on human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). Due to the porous nature of CL materials, they have the potential to sorb components of the packaging solution during storage, which could then be subsequently released upon insertion of the...
