Description

Polymers for Packaging Applications, Hardcover by Alavi, Sajid, . (EDT); Thomas, Sabu, . (EDT); Sandeep, K. P., . (EDT); Kalarikkal, Nandakumar, . (EDT); Varghese, Jini (EDT), ISBN 1926895770, ISBN-13 9781926895772, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Based on presentations at an April-May 2012 international conference on polymers for packaging in Koyttayam, India, scientists and engineers from various disciplines present 17 papers on conventional plastics in packaging applications, biologically-based and biodegradable materials for packaging, bio-nanocomposites in packaging applications, and modified atmosphere packaging for foods and other innovations. Among the topics are the suitability of polymer-based retortable pouches for packaging fish products, edible films and coatings for packaging applications, prospects for biologically-based nanocomposites in green packaging, applying modified atmosphere packaging for extending the shelf life of food commodities, and conductive polymers for packaging applications.
