There is an increasing societal demand for polymer materials that are more environmentally friendly. In response, many countries, including Canada, are supporting renewable resourced materials development through the adoption of favorable legislatures, among other efforts. Advances in renewable polymers that could be made available in large quantities at low cost while satisfying various functional requirements and while safe are extremely important in achieving this ultimate goal. This project aims to develop polymeric films from renewable resources that simultaneously provide rapid biodegradation, high oxygen and moisture barrier for inexpensive food packaging applications. Since the functional attributes required in the films is diverse, multiphase and multilayer film designs will be investigated. To ensure that the developed product is environmentally friendly, green processes will be employed throughout the fabrication process.

社会对更环保的聚合物材料的需求日益增加。作为回应，包括加拿大在内的许多国家正在支持可再生资源材料的开发 通过采用有利的立法机构，以及其他努力。在可再生聚合物方面的进展，可以以低成本大量提供，同时满足各种功能要求，同时安全，对于实现这一最终目标至关重要。该项目旨在开发可再生资源的聚合物薄膜，同时为廉价的食品包装应用提供快速生物降解，高氧气和水分阻隔。由于薄膜所需的功能属性是多种多样的，因此将研究多相和多层薄膜设计。为确保开发的产品对环境友好，整个制造过程将采用绿色工艺。
