The microstructural origin of the double yield points of metallocene linear low-density polyethylene (mLLDPE) precursor films has been studied with the assistance of the synchrotron radiation small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS). It has...
Polyethylenes (PE) are the most commonly occurring ingredients for post-consumer recyclates (PCR). The structure–property relationships of different types of model PE-based blends are established using multiple thermo-rheological analyses. Alth...
Mulching technology has created a major problem of agricultural plastic pollution. This is because the mulch is severely degraded by UV (ultraviolet) irradiation and the mechanical properties deteriorate, which makes mechanical recycling or manual re...
Thermoplastic composites are usually prepared with the extrusion method, and straw reinforcement material must be processed to fiber or powder. In this study, film-roll hot pressing was developed to reinforce linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) w...
Metals are being replaced with high-performance and lightweight polymers, but their low thermal conductivity and poor electrostatic dissipative properties are significant problems. For the protection of sensitive electronic circuitry in automotive an...
Polyolefin suffers from degradation during processing and application. To prolong the service life, antioxidants are needed in the packing formula of polyolefin products. The usage of natural antioxidants could avoid potential health hazards aroused...
Magnetically sensitive shape memory poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) copolymer (SBS)/liner low density polyethylene (LLDPE) composites filled with various contents of Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared. The influence of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles cont...
Given the abundant plastics produced globally, and the negative environmental impacts of disposable plastic products throughout their life cycle, there has been significant attention drawn by the general public and governments worldwide. Mono-materia...
Electrical properties and electro-thermal behavior were studied in composites with carbon black (CB) or hybrid filler (CB and graphite) and a matrix of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). LLDPE, a (co)polymer with low crystallinity but with high...
Sweet persimmons are a valuable export commodity. However, the presence of live insects such as Asiacornococcus kaki limits their access to many export markets. Methyl bromide, traditionally used for pest control, is damaging to human health and the...
Modern supply chains have grown more intricate and globally widespread, often involving high consumption of single-use plastic materials for tertiary packaging. LLDPE stretch films represent a widely adopted solution, fully integrated into industrial...
The need to reach carbon neutrality as soon as possible has made the use of recycled materials widespread. However, the treatment of artificial marble waste powder (AMWP) containing unsaturated polyester is a very challenging task. This task can be a...
The use of structural lightweight concrete in the construction industry is on the rise in the last few decades mainly because of the higher strength per unit density, as it reduces the total deal load of the structural elements as compared with norma...
Agricultural residues offer opportunities to reduce virgin polymer consumption, although balancing mechanical performance, thermal stability, and processability in multicomponent composites remains challenging. This study developed high-density polye...
Hydrophobic gas-permeable polyethylene films with balanced water vapor resistance and gas transport properties are desirable for membrane applications; however, achieving an effective balance between moisture barrier performance and gas permeability...
The applications of Nd-Fe-B-based magnets are experiencing significant diversification to achieve efficiency and miniaturization in different technologies. Metal injection molding (MIM) provides new opportunities to manufacture Nd-Fe-B magnets with h...
This research aimed to investigate the copolymerization of ethylene and various 1-olefins. The comonomer lengths were varied from 1-hexene (1-C6) up to 1-octadecene (1-C18) in order to study the effect of comonomer chain length on the activity and pr...
To address the global plastic crisis, recycled plastics from food packaging were used as road materials by the dry method for practical application research. First, the main components of the recycled plastics were identified based on FTIR, and their...
Foamed phase-change materials (FPCMs) were prepared using recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (PW) and foamed by 1,1′-azobiscarbamide. The protection of pores’ collapse during foaming process was insu...
The safety and high quality of ethnic ready-to-eat foods as a source of nourishment and food supplies chain to the remote areas become particularly important. Consuming healthy and balanced nutritional foods means eating better quality foods in prope...
