This research investigates how repeated contamination, microwave heating, and household dishwashing affect the appearance, properties, and food safety of plastic packaging materials. Polypropylene (PP), semi-crystalline polyethylene terephthalate (CPET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and Tritan™ co-polyester were subjected to simulated reuse co...
This research details the optimisation of the wettability of additively manufactured surfaces for reusable packaging applications. The work presented highlights how the hydrophobicity and oleophobicity of additively manufactured surface patterns was maximised via fine-tuning surface feature geometry. Results showed that through the application of a...
