A discussion of this polymerization method would not be complete without mention of the development of specialized glassware utilized over the years. It has evolved from very elaborate, sophisticated, and specially designed glassware to fairly simple setups. Initially, elaborate break-seal technology was used to complete the entire polymerization process,143 similar to anionic polymerization methodology.17 Break-seal techniques were employed to fully understand many monomer structure-reactivity relationships these techniques are no longer needed.

Biotec s product portfolio includes thermoplastic starch, which can be substituted for petrochemical based plastic packaging. Stanelco s radio frequency sealing technology can be used to process starch polymers without the degradation caused by other methods such as thermal processing. The purchase of Biotec will help the company develop alternatives to petroleum-based packaging.

Nebulizer solutions are typically filled as unit dosages in plastic containers. The latter uses blow-fill-seal technology [33]. Thus drug formulation compatibility with plastics is an important factor. Characterization of any sorption processes of plasticizer, monomer, and extractables or leachables is critical during long-term product-evaluation studies. Such sterile unit-dose formulations, in essence, do not require chemical preservation. 

Reliable sealing technologies for use at temperatures up to 800°C are available for, e.g., alumina-based tubular membrane systems [11] but need further development for other shapes and materials. 

Pilot-operated valves, and to a lesser extent spring-loaded valves offer opportunities for waste minimization. Advances in sealing technology and reductions in friction/stiction may continue to be made to reduce accumulation and blowdown. The potential advantages of fluidic design to this goal are as yet unclear.
