Water-vapor transmission rate and water-vapor permeability of carrageenan-based edible film with three different thicknesses of 0.05, 0.08 and 0.11 mm were measured to investigate the potential applicability of the films to powder foods at five different temperatures (20, 25, 30. 35 and $4^{\circ}C$) and three different relative humidities (50. 70 and 90% RH). Water-vapor transmission rate of the carrageenan-based film was gound to be 2.3 times higher than that of polyethylene (PE) film and water-vapor permeability of the film was 45-230 times higher than that of PE film. Water-ydpor permeability of the film seemed to increase linearly with the film thicknees like other hydrophilic edible films. Water-vapor transmission rate were found to be dependent on the temperature. Activation energies of the water-vapor transmission rate of the film were found to be between 7.898 and 12.8702 kj/mol depending on the film thickness. The water-vapor transmission rate of the film showed the typical kinetic compensation effect between activation energies and preexponential factors. which was proved by the linear increase in the value of logarithms of preecponential factor.

Light transmittance of PO-2 film was 71.2% higher than any other films, because of low amount of pending water and attaching dust on film surface. On dawn, the air temperature of tunnel were higher than that of outdoors as much as between 11.8 and $14.5^{\circ}C$ on Feb. 19 to 20, 2007. The air temperature in the greenhouse covered with PO-2 film was higher than any other films as much as $2.3^{\circ}C$. Analyzing of folate in oriental melon, the folate contents of fruit were between 68.9 and $113.4\;{\mu}g/100\;g$ according to varieties. In winter, the folate contents in the treatment of PO-2 film was higher than that in the treatment of PE film as much as 17%. Above $15^{\circ}C$ in outdoors mean air temperature, the folate contents were as much as between 55.2 and $75.2\;{\mu}g/100\;g$. The folate contents in the treatment of PO-2 film was higher than that in the treatment of PE film as much as 36%.

The effects of packaging material and method on quality of fresh-cut mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus Sing.) were investigated in terms of weight loss, surface color, phenolics, vitamin C and sensory characteristics during storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The fresh-cut mushrooms were subjected to passive, gas exchange and vacuum packaging conditions at st. Polyethylene film (PE), polypropylene film (PP), anti-fogging film (AP) and pen orated film (PF) were used for the passive packaging. The mixed gas of $5\% CO_2/\;2\%O_2$ (MA1) and $10\%CO_2/\;2\%O_2$(MA2) were applied for the gas exchange packaging. The respiration rate of sliced mushroom was 1.27 times higher than intact mushroom at $5^{\circ}C$. Gas concentrations in the passive packaging were $1-2\%\;O^2\;and\;5-16\%m$ during storage of sliced mushrooms for 14 days at $5^{\circ}C$, and levels of the gases were different by the films used The mushroom in perforated film (PF) showed the highest weight loss of $4.56\%$. Anti-fogging film (AF) was somewhat effective for prevention of the weight loss compared with other films after 14 days storage. The mushrooms in MA1 and MA2 packages showed lower delta L value than in other films. PE packaging mitigated decrease of free and bound phenolics during storage. The mushrooms in MA2 kept better quality in sensory aspect, and then in MA1, PE and PP in order during storage at $5^{\circ}C$.

As a series of studies on the preservation methods for boiled-dried anchovies, determination of sorption properties and shelf-life prediction were made for the samples. Dried anchovies, which were gamma-irradiated at pre-established dose (5 kGy) after packaging in both a polyethylene film (PE, 0.1 mm) and a laminated film $(nylon\;15\;{\mu}m/polyethylene\;100\;{\mu}m,\;NY/PE)$, were subjected to a quality evaluation during 4 months at different storage conditions, such as $15^{\circ}C/68%\;RH,\;25{\circ}C/75%\;RH,\;and\;35^{\circ}C/84%$ RH. The sample showed 5.47% of BET monomolecular layer moisture content and the corresponding water activity, 0.15. The velocity constants of browning reaction and organoleptic changes in the sample were in proportion to storage temperature, and $Q_{10}$, values were ranged from 2.17 to 2.40 in a given packaging and irradiation conditions. In the shelf-life prediction of the stored sample at $25^{\circ}C$, non-irradiated groups packaged in PE and NY/PE were 84 days and 125 days. While 5 kGy-irradiated groups in the same packaging were 126 days and 138 days, respectively. This finding proved the efficacy of laminated-film packaging and irradiation treatment in preserving the quality of dried anchovies.

The storage stabilities of philipines' bananas were investigated according to the storage pretreatments and packaging methods during 60 days storage at $13^{\circ}C$. The better storage stability was got in bananas packaged with 60{\mu}m low density polyethylene (PE) film inside the carton box than those without inside pack. Radiation gave the adverse effects on bananas' storage stabilities. Shelf-life of bananas in PE package was 60 days, but that of radiated bananas was only 20 days. And shelf-life of bananas in no inner pack was 20 days. Soluble solid content of bananas packaged with PE film was 17 Brix degree after 60 days storage, but that with no inner package was around 20 Brix after 20 days. Color was below 3 in color chart after 60 days storage and hardness was rapidly decreased from 40 days in bananas packaged with PE film, but color was became to 3 color after 30 days and hardness was rapidly decreased after 20 days in bananas without inner package. Percentage of deteriorated bananas were below 3% in PE films after 60 days storage, but 100% after 40 days in bananas without inner package.

This study investigates the effect of a protective layer on the level of carbonation resistance of concrete. For the protective layer, a PE film, bubble sheets, double layered bubble sheets and styroform were placed in a mold before placing the concrete. In addition, PE film was retrofitted by attaching on the surface of the substrate concrete with a glue. Results showed that the carbonation depths of the control concrete were 4.6 mm and 5.2 mm at one week and two weeks exposure in an accelerated carbonation chamber, whereas the concrete with all types of protective layer except PE flim did not allow the ingress of carbon dioxide during the same period.

In this study, we prepared separators with improved thermal stability by coating microporous polyethylene (PE) film for lithium secondary battery using poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) (Nomex). The mechanical and thermal properties of prepared separators were evaluated by thermal stability test and TMA as a function of the Nomex concentration and coating parameters. The corresponding coated PE separator showed better thermal and mechanical properties than the original PE separator. Electrochemical properties were also assessed by ionic conductivity, cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge cycle.

A printable time temperature integrator (TTI) consisting of oxygen indicator and cover films with various oxygen permeability was developed. The printing ink contained methylene blue (oxygen indicator) which changed in color during storage. $TiO_2$ and glycerol for UV-activation of TTI and zein and ethanol for printing performance were also contained in the printing ink. The cover film on the ink was employed to control the color change rate and temperature dependency (Arrhenius activation energy, $E_a$) by using the different films (PE, PET, OPP, and LLDPE). The film properties were varied by annealing. TTI was produced by silk screen printing. As a result, the color change rates were different for the cover films, being the highest in TTI with LLDPE, followed by OPP, PE, and PET. The rate decreased with increase in the cover film thickness. The $E_a$ was the highest in TTI with LLDPE, followed by OPP, PE, and PET. The $E_a$ did not change with the cover film thickness. The annealed PVC and PET film were lower in oxygen permeability than the unannealed ones, indicating the lower color change rate.
