Course Overview

The course focuses on food, non-food, and industrial packaging applications of polymers, polymer blends, micro and nanocomposites, as well as renewable and biodegradable materials. It details physical, mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties as well as sustainability, recycling, and regulatory issues. A focus on multilayer packaging, with laminated, extrusion coated and co-extruded structures, will be made. Additives used to enhance certain features of these packaging materials will also be investigated, along with typical loading levels and application methods.
