This is an exciting and rapidly growing field of study, and very interesting developments are unfolding. Although the aim of these novel materials is to improve packaged food quality and safety, the toxicological effects derived from their potential migration from the polymer structures is also under consideration. This Special Issue compiles a review and five original papers describing novel nanocomposites with improved packaging properties, the use of nanotechnologies for smart packaging applications, and nanoparticle migration studies from novel nanocomposites.Chemistrybicsscnanofillersnanocellulosebarrier biocompositesNanocompositesantimicrobial packagingbioactive packagingmigrationactive surfacesChemistryLópez-Rubio Amparo1724120Martínez-Sanz MartaFabra Maria JoseScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346886003321Food Packaging Based on Nanomaterials4318144UNINA
