Super-hydrophobic, multiphase polymer dispersions with improved barrier properties for food packaging, 23TAPPICon

In times of growing issues related to global climate change, almost everybody recognizes the need to reduce the consumption of materials based on fossil fuels, e.g. plastics. The increased awareness of consumers also drives large brand owners to become more climate friendly, motivating scientists all over the world to invent new packaging solutions.

In this context, paper sees a revival as material, which is more environment friendly due to the re-pulpability or recyclability. Since the paper is inherently not very resistant, it will require a treatment or coating to improve the properties. In the past PFAS have been used to make paper more resistant to oils and fat for example – these chemicals are being banned since they pose a big risk to the human and environment (bioaccumulation / forever chemicals).
