Opis

Scientific principles of design and fabrication of packaging materials for food purposes are described in this book, as well as methods for structural modification and other techniques. The main practical properties and applications of polymer materials are described. Great attention is paid to the analysis of all processes taking place during formations and destruction of polymer packaging materials. Methods such as electron microscopy, infrared microscopy and optical polarization were used to describe the behaviour of polymer materials and their composition.
