  • Characterization of the damping behavior of a starch-based foam film
    August 11, 2026

    Characterization of the damping behavior of a starch-based foam film

    Topic of the work The cushioning properties of foamed plastic films are crucial to their suitability as packaging materials. It is important that they are neither too stiff nor too flexible, in order to ensure optimal protection for the packaged goods. An existing starch-based foam film will be tested for these characteristics to determine whether…
