- [nanoPost] Nanocomposite polyethylene terephthalate for gas barrier packaging
This research group is developing a high-gas barrier nanocomposites polymer. Instead of using natural nanoclay particles, the group creates synthetic clay platelets using phosphanates and perovskite,

- [nanoPost] Carbon nanotubes for new types of packaging with improved functionality
Research is on modified nanotubes that could include the attachment of oxygen-scavenging compounds that inhibit the breakdown of the active ingredient in drugs, or indeed active sensor compounds that give a visual warning when a pack is exposed to biological, chemical or other environmental factors, or if the drug it contains is broken down.
