Title:

Polymers in Ultra-Cold Environments in Packaging and Devices

Abstract

The role of polymers in the successful implementation of new pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices/packaging is increasing as products become more sensitive to environment. To manage stability and integrity, products are stored and shipped at ultra-cold temperatures (<-40°F); a temperature range at which many traditional polymers are not well understood at an application level. This presentation highlights the level to which polymers can be characterized and analyzed to understand from a fundamental physics perspective whether there is a technical right for success of these applications. Through characterization testing at ultracold temperatures, TMA and Analytical modeling, and thermocouple instrumentation to identify necessary temperature constraints, packaging and products can be de-risked prior to shipping valuable product.
