This paper focuses on the analysis of InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) and circuits under the influence of different temperatures and bias stress, shedding light into their robustness when used in real-world applications. For temperature-dependent measurements, a temperature range of 15 to 85 °C was considered. In case of bias stress, both gate and drain bias were applied for 60 min. Though...

Majority of materials employed for food packaging are non-biodegradable materials which do not meet increasing demands in society for sustainability and environmental safety. Thus, numerous biopolymers have been exploited to develop biodegradable food packaging materials. Nonetheless, the usage of biopolymers has been limited due to the poor mechanical and barrier properties. These properties c...

As extended producer responsibility gains ascendancy in sustainable development, proper management of the life cycle of a product is becoming more and more important. This paper presents a general overview of product life cycle assessment (LCA) and sustainable product packaging over the last four to five years. The review of life cycle assessment includes on overview of LCAs conducted over the ...

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), including vacuum packaging, is a well-known technique used to prolong the shelf life of perishable food products. By eliminating or replacing the air surrounding a packed food product, various deteriorative processes that occur in food can be restricted mostly by reducing O2-concentrations and increasing CO2-concentrations. As it is important to maintain the...

A simultaneous determination method of trace amounts of perfluorinated compounds, such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in packaging materials and textiles, has been developed, using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The perfluorinated compounds were primarily extracted from the samples by a PLE procedure,...

Nanotechnology has an extremely high potential to benefit society through applications in food packaging. It can make the products cheaper and the production more efficient by producing less waste and using less energy. However, any new technology carries an ethical responsibility for wise application and the recognition that there are potential unforeseen risks that may come with the tremendou...

Eco friendly pharmaceutical packaging materials are the safe materials for environment which enclose pharmaceutical product in any of the dosage forms. They may be derived from natural resources, like starches, proteins etc. that inflict little or nearly no harm on the environment and the environment dependent species. This review highlight the eco friendly materials, their classification, uses...

The composition and quality of packaging materials can have a critical impact on the performance, function, and production cost of pharmaceutical medications or drugs. Improper packaging can cause the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in medications to degrade faster, and have shorter shelf lives. Detecting problems, impurities, or incorrect polymer compositions early in the packaging pro...
