Abstract

Smart packaging applications have been studied for the potential use of functionalized carbon nanostructures like carbon dots, nanotubes, and graphene. These materials have unique properties, such as high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity that make them suitable for creating intelligent packaging systems. For example, carbon nanotubes can be used to create sensors that can detect changes in temperature or humidity, while graphene can be used to create packaging materials that are impermeable to gases and liquids. Additionally, functionalized carbon nanostructures can be used to enhance the barrier properties to extend the shelf life of packaged goods, the ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment (such as temperature or humidity), and the ability to sense and respond to specific chemicals or pathogens. Functionalized carbon nanostructures can be used to create active packaging, which can release or absorb specific compounds to improve the quality or safety of the packaged goods. Overall, functionalized carbon nanostructures have the potential to revolutionize the field of smart packaging, enabling the development of new, intelligent packaging systems that can improve the safety and quality of food and other consumer products.
