Abstract
There is a need for better packaging materials made from
renewable resources. Fibre-based packaging materials have
many advantages, such as sustainability, recyclability
and stiffness vs. weight ratio. Besides the fibre-based
materials, renewable materials - such as biopolymers -
play still a minor role. For this to grow there are
obstacles to overcome, such as inadequate barrier
properties and sensitivity towards moisture.
The purpose of this presentation is to summarize our work
done concerning the ALD deposition onto biopolymer films
and biopolymer-coated fiber-based substrates, and -
besides gas and vapour barrier - look also at other
important material properties, such as heat sealability
and biodegradation
