Packaging plastics are called ‘single-use plastics’ because of short lifetime. Among which, the three polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and terephthalate (PET) take more than 70%. Due to incompatibility, few research has been done on alloy plastics. The aim this study is investigate possibility single-use plastic (SUPA) ternary PE, PP, PET as 3D printing material. Tensile bending tests car...

In the crystal structure of 2,3-di-methyl-maleic anhydride, C6H6O3, the closest non-bonding inter-molecular distances, between the carbonyl C and O atoms of neighboring mol-ecules, were measured as 2.9054 (11) and 3.0509 (11) Å, which are well below the sum of the van der Waals radii for these atoms. These close contacts, as well as packing motifs similar to that of the title compound, were als...

Most recent developments in polymers from renewable resources have focused on thermoplastics, whereas there has been no comparable development of plastics with elastomeric properties. Here we evaluate the possibility of developing renewable elastomers based on starch. Potato starch plasticized with glycerol (called plasticized starch, or PLS) was melt-blended with small quantities (5 wt % or 15...

Banana fiber (BaF)-filled composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE)/Nylon-6 blends were prepared via a two-step extrusion method. Maleic anhydride grafted styrene/ethylene-butylene/styrene triblock polymer (SEBS-g-MA) and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) were used to enhance impact performance and interfacial bonding between BaF and the resins. Mechanical, crystallizat...

Poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-diene) (EPDM) containing 50 wt% of poly(ethylene-co-propylene) grafted with maleic anhydride (EP-g-MA) has been melt blended with poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) added with various amounts of reactive SAN, i.e. SAN bearing either primary amine (SAN-NH2) or carbamate groups (SAN-carb). Carbamate groups are precursors of primary amines by thermal thermolysis dur...

polyethylene imide was synthesized from the reaction of high density polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (pe-g-ma) and 1,4-diaminobutane in boiling xylene. the chemical compositions of the reaction products were examined by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. different conditions and parameters like the effect of temperature, time, monomer concentration and oxygen on the extent of reacti...

The H and C NMR spectra of 17 succinic anhydride derivatives and 25 maleic anhydride derivatives were completely assigned using oneand two-dimensional NMR techniques. Copyright  1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
