Recycling of waste plastics is an essential phase towards cleaner production and circular economy. Plastics in different forms, which are non-biodegradable polymers, have become indispensable ingredient human life. The rapid growth the world population has led to increased demand for commodity such as food packaging. Therefore, avert environment pollution with plastic wastes, sufficient managem...

The durability of the self compacting concrete is one prominent areas concern in recent years since it has become prevalent due to its ease handling construction industries. However, there a lack detailed study M-sand with polypropylene fibres literature. In this paper, made by Portland pozzolana cement natural sand and M-sand, different percentages volume fraction (0%, 0.1%, 0.15% 0.2%) thorou...

A new model is proposed for the consolidation of hybrid textiles, in which air entrapment and dissolution are considered. One key parameters tow permeability, described by analytical Gebart validated at very high fibre volume fractions direct permeability measurement. The also takes into account presence fibres limiting gas diffusion molten polymer. Experimental validation then conducted with q...

OBJECTIVE To compare intraperitoneal adhesion formation with placement of polypropylene mesh and use of lightweight polypropylene mesh coated with omega-3 fatty in rats. METHODS Twenty-seven Wistar rats were randomized into three groups. In group 0 no mesh was placed; in group 1 we implanted a polypropylene mesh; and in group 2 there was implantation of a polypropylene mesh coated with omega-...

Methods: Twenty-seven Wistar rats were randomized into three groups. In group 0 no mesh was placed; in group 1 we implanted a polypropylene mesh; and in group 2 there was implantation of a polypropylene mesh coated with omega-...

In this study, the geotechnical and piezoresistivity properties of a sustainable self-sensing cementitious stabilised sand reinforced with recycled fibres (self-sensing geocomposite, SCG) were extensively investigated. route, different concentrations glass, polypropylene, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (GF, PP, UHMWPE) incorporated into conductive 10% cement composed 0.17% hybrid (1:1...

Removal of nitrogen and phosphorus is known to be somewhat problematic in vertical subsurface flow (VSSF)constructed wetlands. In this pilot-scale study, two planted (Typha latifolia L. [cattail]) VSSF-constructed wetlands A (with polypropylene pellets) and B (without polypropylene pellets) and one unplanted control C (without polypropylene pellets) were designed to test the contribution of pol...

In this work, post-consumer polypropylene and wood flour from Pinus elliottii were used to produce wood plastic composites. The effect of polypropylene grafted with itaconic acid used as a coupling agent on mechanical properties, thermal stability and morphology of the composites was investigated and compared with the composite developed with polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride, commonl...

Polypropylene is extensively used for varied applications due to its low cost, low density, high thermal stability and resistance to corrosion. Enhanced mechanical properties of Polypropylene can be achieved by mixing it with clays to form nanocomposites which increases its utility. Polypropylene Nano composites are formed by mixing polypropylene with calcium carbonate nano particles. This resu...
