Synopsis

Multifunctional and nanoreinforced polymers for food packaging provides a comprehensive review of polymers for use in packaging with more than one functional purpose. Recent developments in multifunctional polymers and nanoreinforced polymers provide the opportunity to produce intelligent and active packaging, in addition to increasing the shelf life of products. The book focuses on the materials science and engineering of multifunctional polymers intended for use in food packaging.

Key Features: provides a comprehensive review of novel polymers and polymer nanocomposites for use in food packaging; discusses nanofillers for plastics in food packaging; assesses the the transport and high barrier properties of several food packaging polymers.

Contents: Multifunctional and nanoreinforced polymers for food packaging. Part 1 Nanofillers for plastics in food packaging: Multifunctional nanoclays for food contact applications; Hydrotalcites in nanobiocomposites; Cellulose nanofillers for food packaging; Electrospun nanofibers for food packaging applications. Part 2 High barrier plastics for food packaging: Mass transport and high barrier properties of food packaging polymers; Ethylene-norbornene copolymers and advanced single-site polyolefins; Advances in polymeric materials for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP); Nylon-MXD6 resins for food packaging; Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers; High barrier plastics using nanoscale inorganic films; Functional barriers against migration for food packaging. Part 3 Active and bioactive plastics: Silver-based antimicrobial polymers for food packaging; Incorporation of chemical antimicrobial agents into polymeric films for food packaging; Natural extracts in plastic food packaging; Biaoctive food packaging strategies. Part 4 Nanotechnology in sustainable plastics for food packaging: Polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites for food packaging applications; Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) for food packaging; Starch based polymers for food packaging; Chitosan polysaccharide in food packaging applications; Carragenan polysaccharides for food packaging; Protein-based resins for packaging; Wheat gluten (WG)-based materials for food packaging; Safety and regulatory aspects of plastics as food packaging materials.
