THERMOPLASTIC PAPERS - FROM VISION TO REALITY HOW TO RENDER PULPS THERMOPLASTIC IS THE TOPIC OF A BACHELOR'S THESIS

摘要

Everybody knows from experience that the packaging of goods strongly influences our buying decisions: it should be attractive, impressive, exciting - the creative ideas of package designers make high demands on modern packaging materials. A current trend is the growing need for complex-shaped multidimensional packaging solutions. It would be good if these could be obtained from two-dimensional paperboard by suitable forming methods like deep drawing or thermoforming, for example. So far, however, even the most advanced engineering technology has not been able to compensate for the fact that paper is a non-thermoplastic material.
