Packaging represents an important part in the microintegration of sensors based on microelectromechanical system (MEMS). Besides miniaturization and integration density, functionality and reliability in combination with flexibility in packaging design at moderate costs and consequently high-mix, low-volume production are the main requirements for future solutions in packaging. This study invest...

Methodology Active packaging material was low density polyethylene (LDPE) film incorporated with Tinuvin 326(UV absorber) and iron powder in different concentrations (0-0.5% and 0-15% w/w, respectively). Eleven treatments were performed according to the central composite design (CCD) in order to evaluate changes in mechanical, physical and barrier properties of films. Moreover, the influence of...

Biodegradable chitosan can be applied as a coating on the surface of kraft paper in order to improve its barrier properties against water vapor and air. The food packaging industry can benefit from the addition of chitosan to its current packaging, and in turn reduce pollution from plastic packaging plants. This paper discusses the film formation of chitosan, the permeability of paper coated wi...

As microelectronic packaging industry grows explosively, high I/O density interconnects and reliable packaging design are recognized as the main concern of the IC packaging industry. Hence, in this investigation, a novel type of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) composed of cobalt nanowires and polymer was developed and used in place of conventional solder bumps for ultra-fine pitch interconnec...

Treatment of peppers with hot water (53°C) for 4 min was found to be effective in alleviating chilling injury and reducing decay after 14 and 28 days of storage at 8°C. Treatment at 45°C for 15 min was less effective in maintaining pepper quality during storage. Packaging with low density polyethylene film significantly reduced weight loss and chilling injury during low temperature storage. Low...

There is an interest in the development of an antioxidant packaging fully biodegradable to increase the shelf life of food products. An active film from cassava starch bio-based, incorporated with aqueous green tea extract and oil palm colorant was developed packaging. The effects of additives on the film properties were determined by measuring mechanical, barrier and thermal properties using a...

Brittleness and other properties such as low thermal stability, medium gas barrier properties and low solvent resistance (e.g., against water) of the pure biopolymer film are often insufficient for food packaging applications. The nanoscale distribution of nanoclays (such as montmorillonite, saponite or hectorite), with a high aspect ratio (100-1,500) and extremely high surface-to-volume ratio ...

Plastic packaging systems are ubiquitous in manufacturing. They are an integral component of applications from food to industrial shipping, but their usefulness and efficiency depend critically on fulfilling a number of technical requirements. For example, the plastic films on high-speed packaging lines must show adequate machinability—i.e., avoid sticking to metals and other parts of the handl...

To develop biodegradable packaging that both acts as a moisture barrier and as antimicrobial activity, nisin and stearic acid were incorporated into a hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) based film. Fifteen percent (w/w HPMC) of stearic acid improved film moisture barrier. However, film mechanical resistance and film antimicrobial activity on Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus ...

this paper reviews the possible effects determined on polymeric food packaging films by the simultaneous application of pressure (p) and temperature (t) in high pressure pasteurization and sterilization treatments of packaged foodstuffs. both theoretical modeling and experimental issues are discussed. in fact reversible and irreversible effects that could occur in single film as well as in mult...
