Opis: Multifunctional and Nanoreinforced Polymers for Food Packaging

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. This book...is expertly written. Each contribution sets out the information in a clear and detailed manner and is accompanied by extensive referencing...the end result is a comprehensive text of interest to those concerned with polymeric packaging materials in R&D and/or application.
