Biaxial (having two axes) stretching of film is used for a range of
applications and is the primary manufacturing process by which
products are produced for the food packaging industry. Biaxial
stretching of film: principles and applications provides an
overview of the manufacturing processes and range of applications
for biaxially stretched films. Part one reviews the fundamental
principles of biaxial stretching. After an introductory chapter
which defines terms, chapters discuss equipment design and
requirements, laboratory evaluations, biaxial film structures and
typical industrial processes for the biaxial orientation of films.
Additional topics include post production processing of biaxially
stretched films, the stress-strain behaviour of poly(ethylene
terephthalate) and academic investigations of biaxially stretched
films. Part two investigates the applications of biaxial films
including fresh cut produce, snack packaging and product labelling.
A final chapter investigates potential future trends for biaxially
oriented films and orienting lines. Biaxial stretching of film:
principles and applications is a valuable reference tool for a
broad spectrum of readers, ranging from polymer and fibre engineers
to electrical engineers. It will also be suitable for professionals
in the food packaging and paper industries.
