What are Some Catalytic Innovations in Barrier Films?
Barrier films are crucial in extending the shelf life of food products by preventing the permeation of gases and moisture. Catalysis has contributed to the development of high-performance barrier materials through the synthesis of advanced copolymers and nanocomposites. For instance, [silica-based](href) and [clay-based](href) nanocomposites, created through catalytic methods, provide superior barrier properties and mechanical strength compared to traditional materials.
