With the addition of QPEEK, the blend membranes exhibited increased hydrophilicity, gas transmission rate, and gas permeability coefficient. For the 5 % QPEEK/PVDF membrane, the water vapor transmission rate is 48.4 g/(m²·24 h), the water contact angle is 82.2°, and the CO<sub>2</sub>/O<sub>2</sub> separation coefficient is 2.06.

The standard methods mainly developed for plastic FCMs are not always suitable for less inert and moisture sensitive materials such as paper and board. However, these are becoming increasingly common as FCMs e.g. to replace single-use plastics. In addition, there is a drive to further use recycled materials. To support this development, new methods for assessing the safety of these materials are needed. In the present feasibility study, a hydrogel crosslinked through freeze-thawing of poly(vinyl alcohol) was evaluated as a food simulant for moist foods. The migration of surrogate compounds from a spiked paperboard to the hydrogel was determined and compared to the migration to a real moist food (a slice of apple), the commonly used modified polyphenylene oxide (MPPO) and a water extract. Migration of polar surrogates to the hydrogel correlated well with the migration to the apple slice.
