Crumpled Graphene Nanosheets as Highly Effective Barrier Property Enhancers

Owen C. Compton; Soyoung Kim; Cynthia Pierre; John M. Torkelson; SonBinh T. Nguyen

In modern society, polymer packaging plays a critical role in the preservation and distribution of perishable goods such as food and prescription medicines. [ 1 , 2 ] Since the effectiveness of poly mer packaging materials in preventing product degradation is directly dependent upon their impermeability to degradative gases [ 3 ] and their opacity to high-energy light, [ 4 ] signifi cant efforts have been devoted to improving these properties. [ 5 ]
