Produktbeschreibung

Polymer nanotechnology offers exciting benefits to the food industry, including better materials for food packaging and safer foods on supermarket shelves. This volume examines the complete life cycle of packaging based on polymer nanomaterials. It begins with a general introduction to current issues and future trends. The remaining chapters explore the concept of ethical design; the rheology, structure, and morphology of nanomaterials; plasma technologies; and nanomaterials for food packaging developed from oil polymers and renewable resource polymers. It also discusses cellulose nanowhiskers, edible nano-laminate coatings, the interactions of nanomaterials with food, and degradation.
