an essential characteristic for high performance inherently hydrophobic membranes such as microporous high density polyethylene (hdpe) membranes is to have a hydrophilic surface. in this project, wet chemical functionalization as a facile and effective method was developed to give a hydrophilic property to hdpe membranes using polar functional groups. kclo3, k2cr2o7 and kmno4 were selected as o...

The influences of filler size and content on the properties (thermal conductivity, impact strength and tensile strength) of Al2O3/high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites are studied. Thermal conductivity and tensile strength of the composites increase with the decrease of particle size. The dependence of impact strength on the particle size is more complicated. The SEM micrographs of the fr...

The effects caused upon the physicochemical behavior of high-density polyethylene pipes by exposure to a diesel lubricant were investigated, as a function of time and temperature, by thermogravimetric and gravimetric analysis and by FTIR. The gravimetric data were satisfactorily described using Fick’s law. The fitting of the experimental points showed that diesel, which can be regarded as a mod...

The pyrolysis of waste newspaper (WP) and co-pyrolysis of waste newspaper with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) (1:1 wt%) were carried out in a quartz tube at 500 °C to obtain biochars. The biochars were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analysis,...

Particulate 45S5 Bioglass with an average size of 46 microm was incorporated into a high density polyethylene (HDPE) for potential medical applications. Composites with Bioglass volumes of 10, 20, and 40% were produced by a manufacturing process consisting of blending, compounding, powdering, and compression molding. The Bioglass particles were well dispersed, and their homogeneous distribution...

Edible fungi such as mushrooms are highly perishable and deteriorate few days after harvest due to its high moisture content and inability to maintain their physiological status. In this study, the effect of packaging materials on the nutritional composition of mushroom cultivated from cassava peels was investigated. Mushroom samples were dried at 50°C in a cabinet dryer for 8 h. The dried mush...

Abstract Implementing plastic waste in construction materials is a sustainable disposal method to overcome pollution. The current study aims optimize the integration of cement bricks regarding their thermomechanical properties order develop an eco-friendly building material. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) partially substituted with different ratios (0, 2.5...

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is one of the most popular plastics used in industry. Although it replaces many natural resources, due to low cost and easy processing, its ever-increasing wastes make harmful for environment. Thus, processes are order recycle it. In present study, properties recycled HDPE (r-HDPE) compared virgin investigated. The structural studies performed by X-ray diffracti...

The recycling process is the best way to manage waste polymers. From an economic standpoint, more investigation needed of whole enhance competitiveness in these systems. A first step improved interaction and interfacial adhesion blends. Polyethylene (PE) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are incompatible polymers, so their blends general have poor properties. Compatibilization thus a necessary o...
