particles with minuscule nanoscale dimensions, nanomaterials promise advantages that include reduced material, improved strength with less weight, enhanced barrier, temperature control and active antimicrobial actions. Nanocomposites are used today to minimize CO2 leakage in carbonated beverage bottles and in food storage bins where embedded silver nanoparticles kill bacteria.
While potential applications could solve myriad challenges in food packaging, little is known about their safety, with c
