Packaging Nanotechnology

This book provides coverage on research topics such as dealing with polymer-clay nanocomposites (emphasis high barrier) for food/pharmaceutical packaging, traditional plastic (PP/PE/Nylon/PET/EVOH etc.) based nanocomposites for packaging, green polymer (PLA/PHAs/Starch/etc.) based nanocomposites for packaging, nanotechnology in printing, nanotechnology in coating, nanotechnology in electronics, optoelectronics, and photonics packaging, low and high-k materials for micro- and nano-electronics packaging, nanotechnology in supply chain/security, nanotechnology in paper-based packaging, social and environmental impacts of nanotechnology in packaging, life cycle analysis and economical feasibility of nanocomposites in barrier packaging market. Descriptions on various nano-particles, other nanostructured materials and their roles in different aspects of packaging (high barrier/scratch resistance/UV radiation absorbers, etc) are also targeted to be covered. This book i! s intended for a very wide range of audience covering various aspects of packaging nanotechnology from science to engineering.
