Prospective Nanomaterials for Food Packaging and Safety

Abstract

Nanotechnology is being explored widely to improve food packaging. The development of innovative packaging materials using nanotechnology has had remarkable growth in the last few years. For the last two decades, substantial scientific efforts have been placed into replacing bulk and conventional materials with eco-friendly and biodegradable nanotechnology products or, more specifically, nanostructured materials in the food packaging industry. The advantages of nanotechnology and applications of nanostructured materials in food packaging are overviewed in this chapter. The common, profitable, and marketable acceptance of nanomaterial based food packaging systems and future perspectives are discussed by providing a broad and improved understanding of implementing nanotechnology products in food packaging.

Bio-Inspired Nanomaterials for Micro/Nanodevices: A New Era in Biomedical Applications

“…The potential for developing novel and influential micro/nanodevices using BINMs is anticipated to grow due to technological advancements and improved comprehension of biological systems. Through the utilization of the distinct characteristics exhibited by these nanomaterials in the form of nanocomposite gels [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ] and films [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], structural colored nanomaterials [ 30 , 31 , 32 ], organo-metallic nanomaterials [ 33 ], molecular machines [ 34 ], and nanobiosensors [ 35 ] have found widespread application and have replaced mainly more conventional bulk materials in a variety of sectors [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ] as well as in theoretical inquiries [ 42 ]. Researchers and practitioners can fabricate devices that imitate or draw inspiration from biological systems to execute targeted functions, frequently surpassing the efficiency and efficacy of conventional devices.…”
