Overview

Nanostructured Materials for Food Packaging Applications brings together the latest advances in the preparation of nanostructured materials with the required properties and performance for food packaging applications. The book begins by summarizing the state-of-the-art, opportunities, challenges and solutions in terms of materials for packaging, while also introducing the polymers and fillers in use, their general characteristics and modifications. This is followed by detailed coverage of characterization techniques, fabrication methods and the possibilities for fully green nanoscale materials. The subsequent chapters focus on specific nanomaterials and nanocomposites for food packaging, covering a broad range of materials, methods, and properties. The final chapters highlight functionalized nanomaterials, intelligent and smart packaging systems, kinetic studies, modelling and simulation, safety assessment, and lifecycle assessment of food packaging materials. This book will be of interest to researchers and advanced students across nanotechnology, polymer science, films, barriers, coatings, packaging, food science, chemistry, and materials science, as well as scientists, engineers, and R&D professionals.

Author Information

Dr. Jissy Jacob is currently working as a Senior Researcher at Mahatma Gandhi University. Her research interests are in the field of biopolymer based nanocomposites for food packaging applications. She is working toward the development of mesoporous materials from sustainable resources, via green synthesis process and fabrication of several biopolymer composites, with improved mechanical, thermal, and gas barrier properties. Her research articles are published in reputed journals. Prof. Ilaria Cacciotti is a Full Professor of materials science and technology at the Niccolò Cusano University, Rome, Italy. She is an expert on synthesis, processing, and characterization of biocompatible nanostructured materials, particularly for applications in the biomedical, environmental, and agri-food sectors, including bioceramics, biopolymers, and composites. Prof. Cacciotti is the Coordinator of the Research and Projects Committee, as well as a member of the Italian Interuniversity Consortium on Materials Science and Technology (INSTM), Associazione Italiana d'Ingegneria dei Materiali (AIMAT), Società Italiana dei Biomateriali (SIB), Center for Regenerative Medicine (CIMER), International Association of Advanced Materials, and Italian Digital Biomanufacturing Network (IDBN). She is a reviewer for more than 100 peer-review journals, a member of the editorial board on several international journals, and serves on various grant review committees. She has published more than 150 peer-reviewed research papers, more than 10 book chapters, more than 190 conference proceedings, and more than 30 monographic volumes. She is inventor of 8 patents and has delivered several invited, keynote, and plenary lectures at national and international conferences and meetings. Her significant research endeavors have earned her multiple awards and recognition in her field. Professor Sabu Thomas is the Director of Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. He is also currently the Chairman of the Trivandrum Engineering Science and Technology Research Park (TrESPARK), Trivandrum, Kerala, India. He was the former Vice Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. Prof. Thomas is a highly committed teacher and a remarkably active researcher well-known nationally and internationally for his outstanding contributions in polymer science and nanotechnology. He has published over 1400 research articles in international refereed journals. and has also edited and written 210 books. His H-index is 140 and total citations are more than 94,000. He has supervised 125 PhD theses. He has received many international and national awards and recognitions. Under the leadership of Prof. Thomas, Mahatma Gandhi University has been transformed into a top University in India.
