Injection Molding of Plastics from Agricultural Materials

OBJECTIVE DOE Chicago Operations %ice The objective of this research was to conduct a systematic study to relate injection molding parameters to properties of blends of starch and synthetic polymer. Blends of normal (25 % amylose) and high amylose (50 and 70% amylose) corn starch (containing between 60 and 70 % of the mixture by weight) and synthetic polymer were used in this research. Two diff...

Cavitation instabilities in plastics and rubber-modified plastics

Spherical void expansion in plastics and rubber-modified plastics is investigated under radial traction conditions. The plastics are modeled as elastic-plastic pressure-sensitive materials and the rubbers are modeled as nonlinearly elastic materials. First, the growth of a spherical void in an infinite plastic matrix is investigated under remote radial traction conditions. The results show that...

Progress in Bionanocomposites: From green plastics to biomedical applications

The term bionanocomposites was introduced several years ago, to define an emerging class of biohybrid materials, resulting from the combination of biopolymers such as polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, etc. with inorganic solids at the nanometric scale [1] and [2]. Such inorganic fraction consists of finely divided solids, spanning from clays to phosphates or carbonates, whose origin can...
