ABOUT
THIS BOOK |
| Packaging
Nanotechnology summarizes new developments and the role of
nanotechnology in the area of packaging science and technology.
There has been a great progress in the field of packaging
nanotechnology which impacts every field of science as well as in
our daily life. The nanoscale materials play a very important role
in the packaging of electronic and photonic devices to packaging of
health products to foods. The applications of nanomaterials in
packaging technology have been a topic of current scientific studies
and curiosity. This book summarizes latest developments in the field
of packaging nanotechnology. The intended research areas of coverage
for this book quite broad which include polymer-clay nanocomposites
for foods and 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- 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 nanoparticles, 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 provides a comprehensive coverage
of many aspects of packaging nanotechnology from science to
engineering to medicine to food science. The research topics include
synthesis, processing, fabrication, spectroscopic characterization,
properties and applications of nanomaterials in packaging science
and technology. The coverage include melt processing,
polymer/montmorillonite layered silicates, nanocomposites films for
food packaging, transport properties of polymer/layer fillers
nanocomposites, semiaromatic polyester/layered silicate
nanocomposite materials, nanocomposites of polyolefin, nylon
nanocomposites, microcellular polymer nanocomposites,
bio-nanotechnology in biopackaging, starch nanocomposites,
proteinous nanomaterials silver nanocomposites for antimicrobial
packaging, the use of nanotechnology to improve the performance of
plant oil-based coatings for military use and applications in
packaging, nanomaterial enhanced scaffolds for tissue engineering,
commercial development of nanocomposite packaging, environmental and
social impacts of nanotechnology in packaging. This book contains
fourteen state-of-the-art review chapters written by fifty-five
leading experts in the field as well as over two thousand
references, hundreds of figures, tables, chemical structures and
equations. |
