Paper and board are widely used as food packaging materials, mainly for disposable products. As public interest in conservation of natural resources has accelerated in the past several years, the use of recycled paper and board has increased. Recycled fiber materials can be used in certain limits as food contact materials. The safety of recycled fiber-based materials for food contact applicatio...

Organic packages for High Frequencies Applications are becoming a real need to meet cost/performance targets for Telecom applications and in growing sectors driven by higher frequency requirements. A study of foundamental properties required to an organic package to be implemented for these range of applications is presented. Some past experiences have demonstrated that with current designs and...

Wide band-gap semiconductor materials such silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), and diamond (C) based electronic devices may operate at temperatures above the high temperature limit of silicon technology. Among these wide band gap materials, single crystal SiC is the most mature material at this stage. SiC has such excellent physical and chemical material properties that SiC microsyste...

Integrated power electronics modules (IPEMs) are envisioned as integrated power modules consisting of power semiconductor devices, power integrated circuits, sensors, and protection circuits for a wide range of power electronics applications, such as inverters for motor drives and converters for power processing equipment. Integration in power electronics is a rather complex process due to inco...

fluting paper which produced from nssc pulp is the most important lignocellulosic sources for production of packaging papers. the usage of paper is prefered to other sources for packaging purposes considering some properties such as cheapness, being enviromentally friendly and recyclability. in this research, production of nssc pulp from populus deltoides clone 69-55 for packaging purposes and ...

The study evaluates the effect of two different packaging materials on storage stability of and instant fruitdairy functional beverage mix. Freeze dried pineapple Lassi (PL) powder was packaged in aluminium laminated polyethylene (ALP) and metallised polyester (MP). Quality changes at elevated temperature conditions (38±1 °C, 33 per cent relative humidity) were evaluated. Shelf life was calcula...

Several lead-free material systems are available as replacements for traditional lead-based solders in microelectronic packaging, including near-eutectic combinations of tin-rich alloys. Although these materials have superior mechanical properties as compared to the Pb-Sn system, much work remains in developing these materials for electronic packaging. Small additions of rare-earth elements hav...

Listeria monocytogenes (L.m.) is an agent of serious foodborne illness. It is a major concern for the food industry, since microorganism, growing in biofilms is protected against cleaning and disinfection and is difficult to eradicate. Aim of this study was to develop a protocol to assess the ability of two flexible packaging materials, named HGP40 and GND35, submitted to corona discharge treat...

Aluminium foil is widely accepted as being one of the best barrier materials in flexible packaging, even in the face of many new and up-and-coming high-barrier plastic layer combinations, copolymers, blends or nano-composites. Besides high thermal conductivity, which facilitates enhanced converting and sealing performance, other key criteria that distinguish “converter foil” from competing mate...
