The e-book aims to bring together the information on bioplastics in waste stream and the scientific and technological advances on the production, application, reuse, recycle, ultimate disposal and environmental aspects. This topic has grown in importance as the need for environm…
This eBook deals with Automated Print Solutions in two senses: systems where print files can be processed, sent to press and finished with minimal user intervention (with the print files delivered via the web being a key component); and 'print anywhere technology'/'push-button p…
The growth of recycled plastics for packaging applications is linked to two key drivers: (1) the economics for cost-in-use compared to that of virgin plastic resin based on fossil-fuel feedstocks, and (2) the supply chain for recycled plastic resin feedstocks (e.g., availability…
LEDs have great potential in automotive lighting because of their long lifetime, reliability, low power consumption, small size and lesser heat generation in comparison to the alternatives. LEDs already are used in several automotive applications, mainly in interior and rear lig…
The major goal of this report is to study the extent to which LED and OLED technologies are meeting the promise of a revolution in lighting practices. The development of organic LEDs has lagged that of the inorganic versions, but OLED proponents believe that their distinctive fo…
Laws and regulations on the composition, use and disposal of Food Contact Materials (FCM) are of growing importance as global trade continues to develop and emerging markets are playing an increasingly important role here, from the production, through to the use and regulation o…
As plastics are predominantly made from crude oil, the use of bioplastics offers significant advantages in an ecological and economic sense. There are two basic processes for the manufacture of bioplastics: Direct extraction from biomass, which yields a series of natural polymer…
The package printing industry, which comprises about a third of the global printing market, serves an important role in the supply chain of various industries. Conventional printing methods are no longer the only option, with Digital printing as the newer, sometimes cheaper meth…
Organic transistors are the holy grail in the emerging world of flexible, low-cost printed electronics. Electronic products made with organic components are dramatically less costly to manufacture and more versatile than today's silicon-based products. The technology is also thi…
