I. Film: Using Electrospinning to Create Bioactive Films

Abstract:

With increasing competition between companies, they are increasingly striving to produce higher quality products and to improve their production processes, and the food industry is no different. In order to preserve food for longer, this type of company has dedicated its attention to intelligent packaging, capable of preserving food for longer and of acting as a sensor of the state of food. To develop a film capable of fulfilling the new ambitions of the companies various manufacturing processes have been studied. This document gives an overview of the electrospinning process, capable of producing nanofibres of biological materials. This document aims to serve as a study base for the I.film project through the study of the process that will provide the polymer film with the necessary biological characteristics.
