to compensate for some inferior properties of recycled papers, application of processing chemical aids such as chitosan can be quite effective in the wet end section of papermaking. in this study, the performance of chitosan biopolymer, individually or associated with nanobentonite was investigated as wet end additive on recycling process of white cuttings. for this purpose, the performance of ...

in this study, the possibility of producing wood-plastic panels was studied using two different blending methods including melt blend and dry blend. wood-plastic panels were made from recycled high density polyethylene (as resin) and mdf waste (as natural fiber) at 60, 70 and 80% by weight filler loading. nominal density and dimensions of the panels were 1g/cm3 and 35×35×1 cm, respectively. the...

The experimental study deals with Hybrid fibre reinforced concrete with the use of (Polypropylene and Recycled polyethylene terephthalate RPET). The M40 grade concrete used was designed by using IS10262-2009 code. The steel fibre and synthetic fibre were added at the volume fractions up to 0.5%. Test results showed that the fibres, when used in a hybrid form, could result in superior composite ...
