Abstract:

This paper reports on an irradiation curing method to improve the mechanical, chemical and thermal properties of multilayered flexible materials, to increase the bond strength among the adhesively bonded layers and to provide flexible packages that can withstand the stresses of thermoprocessing and subsequently protect the contents of the packages during normal handling and storage.
