After the discussion about how the biological influences of such materials can affect the performance of packaging, the investigation of superior properties of sp\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e carbon nanostructures is reported. Here, carbon nanotubes and graphene are described as starting points for the preparation of highly engineered composites able to promote the enhancement of shelf-life by virtue of their mechanical and electrical features.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, in the effort to find innovative composites, the applicability of biodegradable materials from both natural (e.g. cellulose) and synthetic (e.g. polylactic acid - PLA) origins, with the aim to prove that polymer-based materials can overcome some key limitations such as environmental impact and waste disposal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giuseppe Cirillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119160200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119160205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Scrivener\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Giuseppe Cirillo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013885407487,"sku":"9781119160205","price":236.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55c766d4-028b-4c4c-8940-536725efd62f.jpg?v=1767745372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/composites-materials-for-food-packaging-giuseppe-cirillo-9781119160205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
