Abstract

The water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) of polymer films is critical in flexible food packaging applications. The WVTR of a series of polyolefin and co-extruded polyethylene/polyamide films were shown to be affected by density, orientation and crystallinity, as well as the cooling process from cast and blown extruded films
