Resolve scientists can analyse packaging materials and foils using a
combination of high-tech analytical tools. Some examples are:
• study
of multilayer barrier films (used in packaging) using a combination of
techniques such as optical microscopy, IR and/or Raman and DSC techniques
• gels or specks using micro-techniques as micro-XRF or micro-IR
• subtleties in polyolefin films by elemental analysis techniques (XRF),
SEM-EDX or classical additive analyses
• nano-based materials via
e.g. TEM techniques
• study of surface roughness using AFM techniques
• permeability and static electricity measurements on films
•
contact angle and surface tension measurements for the study of polarity and
homogeneity of surfaces
