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.

This book focuses on food, non-food, and industrial packaging applications of polymers, blends, nanostructured materials, macro, micro and nanocomposites, and renewable and biodegradable materials. It details physical, thermal, and barrier properties as well as sustainability, recycling, and regulatory issues. The book emphasizes interdisciplinary research on processing, morphology, structure, and properties as well as applications in packaging of food and industrial products. It is useful for chemists, physicists, materials scientists, food technologists, and engineers.
