Abstract
The subject invention pertains to branched polyolefin materials that exhibit temperature-sensitive permeability. The subject invention also concerns a package including a polymer material that exhibits temperature-sensitive permeability and separates a respiring article from the surrounding atmosphere. Methods of the subject invention involve placing a respiring article within a container comprising a polymer material exhibiting temperature-sensitive permeability.
Claims48
A polymer material comprising a polyolefin, wherein said polymer material exhibits temperature-sensitive permeability.
A package comprising a polymer material and an article, wherein said polymer material separates said article from the atmosphere outside the package, wherein said polymer material comprises a polyolefin and exhibits temperature-sensitive permeability.
A method for packaging an article comprising placing said article within a container that encloses and separates said article from the atmosphere surrounding said container, wherein said container comprises a polymer material comprising a polyolefin, and wherein said polymer material exhibits temperature-sensitive permeability.
