Learning outcomes

Students will learn the basics of the extrusion coating process. Students also learn the most common characterisation methods that are used for packaging materials.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Students will be given a short theory on extrusion coating process and the related process parameters will be introduced. Different characterisation methods used for packaging materials will be discussed.   Students will have laboratory works including an extrusion coating trial and several laboratory measurements. Laboratory measurements include barrier (WVTR, OTR), heat sealability and hot tack, adhesion, surface energy and friction measurements. In addition, IR-spectroscopy, DSC measurement and optical microscopy are included  The theory related to different measurements will be introduced. 

Evaluation criteria for the course

Students will prepare a scientific report based on the lectures and laboratory works.

Assessment scale:

Evaluation scale passed/failed will be used on the course
