Polymers Course
This course provides a practical overview of polymers in food packaging, covering structure, morphology, thermal behavior, and their impact on barrier and mechanical performance. Participants will learn about key polymer families, multilayer systems, additives, and processing routes, while gaining skills to design R&D plans, interpret datasheets, conduct lab tests, and optimize packaging for safety and shelf life.

What will I learn?
This short, practical Polymers Course gives you a focused overview of polymer structure, morphology, and thermal behaviour, then connects these fundamentals to barrier and mechanical performance in food packaging. You will explore key polymer families, multilayer systems, additives, and film processing routes, while learning how to design R&D plans, interpret datasheets, run targeted lab tests, and optimise packaging for safety, stability, and shelf life.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design polymer R&D plans: define specs, risks and fast lab workflows.
- Select food-packaging polymers: match barrier, clarity and strength needs.
- Optimise film formulations: choose additives, multilayers and processing.
- Interpret polymer datasheets and tests: Tg, OTR, tensile and migration.
- Link polymer structure to properties: predict barrier and mechanical behaviour.
