Abstract

The work aims to review the research progress, main application directions, key issues and development trends of phosphorus materials in functional packaging engineering, to provide references for the design, performance optimization and engineering application of related materials. It systematically summarized the main categories, structural characteristics, and functional basis of organophosphorus compounds, inorganic phosphorus compounds, phosphorus-containing polymers, phosphorus-based composites, and bio-based phosphorus-containing materials, and clarified their action mechanism and application characteristics in flame-retardant packaging, antimicrobial packaging, preservation and active packaging, barrier packaging, and degradable green packaging. Phosphorus materials, with their advantages such as carbonization and flame retardancy, interface regulation, functional synergy, and green modification, have gradually expanded from traditional single flame retardant applications to multi-functional systems including antibacterial, preservation, barrier, and degradable packaging. They have demonstrated good application potential in enhancing packaging safety, extending shelf life, and promoting green development. In response to existing challenges, including insufficient compatibility, migration safety concerns, limited processing adaptability, insufficient long-term stability, and incomplete safety evaluations and engineering research, this review proposes that future studies should strengthen multifunctional integrated design, the development of bio-based phosphorus sources, interface optimization and regulation, safety evaluation, and industrial transformation, so as to promote the in-depth application, green and sustainable development of phosphorus materials in the field of functional packaging.
