  • Printing a duplex microwave interactive susceptor structure on cellulose-based substrates for sustainable microwave packaging
    Patent number: 10271387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microwave interactive susceptor structure for the microwave heating of food products. In one aspect, the invention relates to a duplex design for the microwave interactive structure on cellulose-based substrates. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method of patterning the duplex microwave interactive structure on the substrates using a printing press with or without an alignment function.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: FPInnovations
    Inventors: Tingjie Li, Joseph Stephen Aspler, Lyne M. Cormier
  • Print quality on thin coatings of cellulose nanocrystals
    Patent number: 10195888
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) blended with a polymeric material selected from a polyvinyl alcohol) (PVOH), an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), other carboxylated polymer latexes, or other polymer blends, and applied as a thin coating layer on plastic films for printing with digital processes such as inkjet and laser printing, as well as with more conventional printing processes such as flexography and offset lithography, to the control of ink adhesion to the plastic film, and to the reduction in the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of the plastic film.

  • PRINT QUALITY ON THIN COATINGS OF CELLULOSE NANOCRYSTALS
    Publication number: 20170267009
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) blended with a polymeric material selected from a polyvinyl alcohol) (PVOH), an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), other carboxylated polymer latexes, or other polymer blends, and applied as a thin coating layer on plastic films for printing with digital processes such as ink jet and laser printing, as well as with more conventional printing processes such as flexography and offset lithography, to the control of ink adhesion to the plastic film, and to the reduction in the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of the plastic film.
