In this work, the physicomechanical, chemical and thermal properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) modified with a biocide containing metal nanoparticles: nanoAg, nanoCu, nanoFe2O3 were examined. The presented studies, apart from previously proven antimicrobial effectiveness, have shown that application in concentrations 0.5% 1% has least influence on remaining properties. (2–5%), despite ...

Abstract. The mechanical properties of polymer composites based on polylactide vary significantly over a wide range values. It has been established that photodegradation low-density polyethylene – blends occurs both in the amorphous and crystalline phase PLA matrix, which leads to deterioration studied mixtures. Ozonolysis affects strength parameters polylactide-polyethylene samples as well pho...

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) is used for packaging and other industrial application a significant source of environmental pollution. The present study was aimed at testing the ability bacterial strains identified as Bacillus cereus Pseudomonas aeruginosa to degrade LDPE. These were isolated from soil samples collected dump site. All isolates screened their synthetic produced weight loss perc...

There is a paramount demand on the enhancement of plastic package properties to reduce food loss and waste. With this awareness, ternary composite films based low density polyethylene (LDPE) reinforced with silver- (Ag/FS), copper- (Cu/FS) copper hydroxynitrate-fumed silica (CuHS/FS) micron-sized dual-side fillers, were produced via melt-blending compression molding techniques. The exhibited an...

Abstract This research aims to assess the properties of Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) binder prepared with different types additives such as (Waste low density polyethylene (W-LDPE) and crumb rubbers (CR)and Styrene Butadiene (SBS)). Most these are sustainable materials since it is derived from old scrap materials. All above-mentioned (W-LDPE, CR SBS) were added percentages (2, 4, 6 percentage...

The influence that recycled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and lithium thickener concentrations exerts on the thermal and rheological properties of lithium lubricating greases was investigated using different rheological techniques in a temperature range of 25–175◦C. In this way, different lubricating grease formulations were manufactured by modifying the concentration of lithium 12-hydroxyste...

Polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites have generated great interest due to their improved thermal, mechanical and gas barrier properties compared to conventional composites or neat polymers. Since the surface of most polymers is usually hydrophobic and layered silicate nanoparticles are completely hydrophilic, interactions between them are not favourable. Thus, the first step in the direction...
