Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of the concept of sustainable food, food safety and quality maintenance have been given more and more attention. The use of polymer materials for food packaging is the development trend of today’s food technology and material science. For example, the combination of various plasticizing materials to control gas permeability, edible films, polymer materials combined with essential oils, smart packaging, polymer material modification, the use of environmentally friendly materials, etc., are in accordance with the characteristics and purposes of different foods and agricultural products. Polymer application research is definitely incredibly diverse at present.
Therefore, this Special Issue further focuses on the Characterization of Polymer Food Packaging Materials and expects to present more relevant and innovative research results.
