Completed graduate level research in the study of diffusion of polymer additives to polymer films. The research, funded by Cryovac/Sealed Air Corporation, developed a mathematical model that would predict the time to take erucamide to migrate to the surface of polyethylene films. This food grade additive is used in the polyethylene films to facilitate in automated packaging machines. Without the additive, the surface of the film is tacky and can cause significant processing problems.
