Emerging food packaging applications have created more stringent requirements for packaging food products. One critical need is for improved barrier films to construct the actual packages, which is a growing area that demands attention. Enhancing the barrier properties of the packaging film is crucial for prolonging the shelf-life of food and reducing the potential for spoilage and damage of the packaged food. Traditionally, either a PVDC coating or an aluminum coating has been used to achieve excellent barrier properties of the packaging film. However, the use of PVDC coatings has been limited due to the chlorine in the PVDC polymer, and aluminum coatings may change their barrier features during processing, leading to cracking or pinholes in the film. These limitations have prompted continued development of alternative approaches to achieve high barrier properties in films. This training will review the latest developments in producing high barrier films using new and emerging technologies. Topics covered will include new polymers and materials that provide high barrier features, as well as the development of multilayer film products as a novel way to produce high barrier films, particularly for oxygen.
