Photon beam dosimetry using Kodak extended dose range (EDR2) radiographic film can provide accurate and high spatial resolution information especially for areas such as IMRT dosimetry where a higher dose level (100-400 cGy) is often required to be delivered for verification. For such dosimetry checks, it may sometimes be useful to place the film in a tank filled with water during irradiation. T...

Objectives . To quantitatively describe the thermochromic properties of films isotactic polypropylene, a large-tonnage polymer widely used in production flexible packaging for goods and foodstuffs, as well substantiate possibility covert labeling transparent packaging. Methods Differential scanning calorimetry, polarization photometry, infrared Fourier spectrometry, gravimetry, temperature cont...

Abstract Edible film as food packaging is an alternative solution to maintain Dodol quality and prevent decay during storage. Commonly, edible films were prepared from starch-based materials. Nevertheless, the which only made starch has a limitation due does not provided antibacterial properties. Therefore, this study aims synthesis characterize of Nagara sweet potato with addition garlic essen...

Polylactide (PLA) is viewed as a potential material to replace synthetic plastics (e.g., poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)) in food packaging, and there have been a number of developments in this direction. However, for PLA to be competitive in more demanding uses such as the packaging of oxygen-sensitive foods, the oxygen permeability coefficient (OP) needs to be reduced by a factor of ~10. T...

Nowadays, there is a growing interest to develop biodegradable functional composite materials for food packaging and biomedicine applications from renewable sources. Some composite films were prepared by the casting method using chitosan (CS) and agarose (AG) in different mass ratios. The composite films were analyzed for physical-chemical-mechanical properties including tensile strength (TS), ...

Zero-level packaging technology ensures dicing and handling compatibility of the MEMS device along with low cost by encapsulating the MEMS components using wafer level processing. It is also essential for providing the MEMS with a controlled ambient in a cost-effective way. In order to be compatible with a broad range of MEMS processes, IMEC developed sealing methods with a low temperature budg...

Antimicrobial active packaging delays or inhibits microorganism growth in packed products, and it can be used in a variety of food systems. The objective of the present research was to develop packaging incorporated with natural antimicrobial agents (active film). The effects of the active film on the spoilage, pathogenic microorganism counts, pH and color of the refrigerated chicken breast cut...

introduction:packaging is an important factor in food industry and is dominated by petroleum-derived polymers. therefore, the amount of research involving the production and characterization of biodegradable films has increased substantially, mainly due to interest in minimizing the ecological impact caused by the use of synthetic packaging materials. several biopolymers have been exploited to ...

Background: The rainbow trout fish is susceptible to spoilage due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids. It should be kept at low temperature to reduce microbial, enzymatic, and oxidation reactions. The purpose of this study was to design a packaging that contains a pH indicator for monitoring freshness of the rainbow trout fish during storage at refrigerator. Methods: The indicator co...
