Trends in the promotion of efficiency in the market, implementation of circular economy, strengthening of data, copyright protection create the need to develop a new generation, anti-forgery authentication-identification element integrated into advanced product packaging or labels [1-5]. The aim of this work is to create a new generation security system and element (Fig. 1) with unique properties capable of replacing existing product control, scanning and security systems, and to create a new product design concept by applying holographic technologies. These elements with an integrated active optical protection coding system are automatically identified and authorized at an expert level. The created innovative compositions that protect the environment have exceptional properties – they are resistant to the external environmental impact, are of high strength, and low mass. The created ecological composite materials are characterized by exceptional physico-chemical properties, increased resistance to counterfeiting. Their production has a positive impact on the environment, as the consumption of chemical solvents is reduced, the materials are durable and reliable.
Fig. 1. After optimizing the parameters of the replication technological process during pressing, a periodic structure was formed in the PLEXIGLAS® XT polymer plate. From the atomic force microscopy 3D image and profile, it can be seen that the constant of the formed diffraction grating corresponds to the characteristics set during the designing.
The newly developed complex technology allows to reset the relation between the manufacturer and the consumer, provides protection against counterfeiting, and creates the possibility of automating trade and logistics systems.
