The agri-food technology Institute Ainia, in collaboration with the University of Valladolid and the Fundación Cidaut, is developing a national project supported by the Ministry of industry, tourism and trade-oriented to incorporate nanotechnology for the acquisition of new materials to increase the useful life of packaged foodstuffs.
Nanotechnology applied to the packaging technology allows to scale nanometer, i.e. to a millionth of a millimeter. This allows various properties that they can be incorporated to a same material and carries both substantial cost savings in the amount of material to be used in the production of the same. The materials with which we are working are polymers (plastics) who previously treated nanoarcillas particles being implemented.
