A total of three studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of different packaging systems and storage times on reduction of Listeria monocytogenes on ready-to-eat meat snacks. Study 1 was conducted to determine the effects of four packaging systems [heat sealed (HS), heat s…
Zein is a hydrophobic biopolymer, which naturally forms biodegradable films. These films are rigid, brittle, and lack good mechanical and barrier properties for packaging applications. This study aims at improving the mechanical and barrier properties of zein films by the develo…
Quilt Packaging (QP) is a novel, high-speed, direct interchip interconnection technology invented and developed at The University of Notre Dame. Quilt Packaging uses conducting structures, called "nodules," that protrude from the thin, vertical faces of a chip, connecting to mat…
Vacuum drying of nuclear fuel canisters may cause the temperature of fuel assemblies to considerably increase due to the effect of gas rarefaction at low pressures. This effect may induce a temperature-jump at the gas-solid interfaces. It is important to predict the temperature-…
The domain of electronics undergoes continuous development to meet consumer demands while keeping up with "Moore's law". One of the approaches to meet these requirements is the use of multiple die in a single packaging module with a thinner package thickness. This research is a …
One of the many promising applications of metal/ceramic joining is in biomedical implantable devices. This work is focused on vacuum brazing of C.P titanium to 96% alumina ceramic using pure gold as the filler metal. A novel method of brazing is developed where resistance heatin…
As the fields of graphic and packaging design continue to evolve, it is important to keep their applications sustainable and green. Unaware graphic and packaging designers need to have an easy-to-comprehend source of information about sustainability. Developing an educational in…
Antimicrobial properties of a commercially processed polyethylene film coated with AgION™ silver zeolite were tested for its ability to inhibit growth of four strains of Listeria monocytogenes (CWD 95 and 246 from silage, CWD 201 from raw milk, and CWD 1503 from ground turkey). …
A number of alternatives were considered to keep pecan processing economically competitive and sustainable. The industry needed a low risk evaluation technique for testing new high capital plant configurations. A simulation model was developed using the AweSimTM simulation syste…
The effects of natamycin, oxygen scavengers and a 25% CO2:75% N2 modified atmosphere on the growth of Penicillium roqueforti in shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese stored at 10°C for 0, 60, 120, or 180 day was studied. Microbiological and sensory testing was assessed on 0, 7,…
The water vapor transmission rate and permeance constants were determined for the seven commodity films. The moisture isotherm of the confectionery product was developed at a temperature of 23°C, to allow the selection of storage conditions, in which the product would gain moist…
Significant advances in millimeter-wave devices and integrated circuits have occurred over the past several years, yet the majority of measurements have been extrapolated from DC-65 GHz data, relying only on linear projections to predict the extremely high frequency performance …
Release profiles of potassium sorbate from active-edible whey protein films were determined experimentally and the mechanism of diffusion of potassium sorbate in the films was investigated. The diffusion of potassium sorbate in whey protein films was found to be non-Fickian. A m…
Türkiye’de farklı iklimlerin bir arada görülmesi, ülkenin verimli ve geniş arazilere sahip olması birçok tarımsal ürünün yetişmesine imkân sağlamaktadır. Bu özelliklere sahip olmasından dolayı Türkiye, dünyada tarımsal potansiyeli en yüksek ülkelerden biri olmuştur. Türkiye gibi…
Paper materials are highly desirable for a wide range of applications in packaging and non-packaging sectors due to their advantages of low cost, light-weight, excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and renewability. However, paper is a porous material with polar gro…
This research provides a comprehensive study on the feasibility of the use of Power Overlay (POL) technology for high-power Light Emitting Diode (LED) packages from both a thermal- and reliability perspective. This technology incorporates thermal vias in a low thermal conductivi…
The level of coupling noise or cross talk is an important factor in the design of reliable VLSI packages. Coupling noise can be reduced by modifying the underlying conductor geometry. An expert system is developed and integrated into the packaging design and simulation environme…
Chitosan is the one of the most abundant naturally occurring polymer in the world and has applications in a lot of different fields, including flexible packaging films. Aluminum oxide in the form of nanoparticle have good mechanical strength, barrier, thermal and antimicrobial p…
