Nanoparticle film - Is it going to revolutionize the packaging space?

At the turn of the millennium, nanotechnology was looked upon as the next big thing in the field of science and technology. It was expected to help us find solutions to previously unsolvable problems and improve the quality of life in general. This article discusses one such successful application of nanotechnology in solving a major problem that the packaging industry has been facing for decades. It discusses how a nano-tech driven innovation elongates the shelf-life of products by repelling moisture and air more effectively than the currently used films. The article also elucidates upon the products and industries which stand to gain greatly from this innovation and some of the constraints that it will need to overcome for becoming a break-through success.   Author: Nidhi
