Nanotechnology in Plastics Packaging.


Nanotechnology in Plastics Packaging

This study takes a detailed look at what these break-through technologies mean for plastics packaging. It looks at how the usability How easy something is to use. Both software and Web sites can be tested for usability. Considering how difficult applications are to use and Web sites are to navigate, one would wish that more designers took this seriously. See user interface and usability lab. , durability and value-added of plastic packaging materials can be enhanced through nanotechnologies such as silicate silicate, chemical compound containing silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals, e.g., aluminum, barium, beryllium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, or zirconium. Silicates may be considered chemically as salts of the various silicic acids.  nanoparticles, carbon nanofibres, carbon nanotubes See nanotube. , electrospun nanotubes, nanocapsules and self-assembled monolayers Self assembled monolayers (SAMs) are surfaces consisting of a single layer of molecules on a substrate. Rather than having to use a technique such as chemical vapor deposition or molecular beam epitaxy to add molecules to a surface (often with poor control over the thickness . It looks at all current and future nano-related research projects or products in these technologies or applications that could have an impact on the plastics packaging sector. Published by Pira.
