Blends of polypropylene (PP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) may contribute to make recycling more economically attractive. The aim of this work was to make PP/LDPE blends (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25 and 100/0 w/w) via injection molding carried out under various injection temperatures and to evaluate their tensile and impact properties. The blends yielded tensile stress–strain curves very d...

The transformation of fog at a non-visible water layer on a membrane of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) was evaluated. Nonionic surfactants of major demand in the polyolefin industry were studied. A kinetic study using a hot fog chamber showed that condensation is controlled by both the diffusion and permanency of the surfactant more than by the change of the su...

Tribological properties of composites of low density polyethylene (LDPE) reinforced with 1, 5, 10, 20 wt% micrometric Boehmite (B) and/or preheated Boehmite (HB) powders were studied in combination with two silane coupling agents (SCAs): vinyltri(2-methoxyethoxy)silane (VTMES)-SCA 972 and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propylmethacrylate (3MPS)-SCA 989. When coupling agents are used, the samples not subje...

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is found to be a highly effective conductivity-reducing additive for low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which introduces new application area the field of conjugated polymers. Additives that reduce direct-current (DC) electrical conductivity an insulation material at high electric fields have gained lot research interest because they may facilitate design more effici...

Abstract This research focuses on recycling rubber tire waste through pyrolysis to produce recovered carbon black (rCB). The rCB is combined with recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE), calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), fatty acid, metallic stearate, and (PE) wax create an masterbatch for household packaging. Surface modification of CaCO particles using stearic acid improves the compatibility LDP...

In this study, some mechanical properties of wood-plastic composite material produced from bamboo (Bambusoideae) were investigated. Wood-plastic materials by mixing Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and fibers at the rates 5% 10%. The wood-composite samples subjected to tensile strength bending tests results examined. showed that decreased 6% as ratio increased addition, increasing 10% average ea...

This article focuses on increasing the shelf life of both pasteurized (Pa) and traditional (Tr) butters wrapped in Ag-Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) film concentration 2.5%, 7.5%, 12.5%, 17.5% at refrigerated temperature up to one month. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized (20.63 nm) through chemical reduction followed by melt mixing method produce Ag-LDPE films. A mixed model-ANOVA Repeated...

Microplastic particles (MPs) are widely distributed pollutants in the environment. While a growing number of studies have shown that MPs toxic to plant and animal life, systemic efforts reduce their presence been scarce. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polystyrene (PS) one most common among all plastic-forming MPs. In this study, pure bacterial strains, Bacillus licheniformis Lysinibacillus &lt...

The in-line development of crystalline morphology and orientation during melt extrusion of low density polyethylene (LDPE) tape at nil and low haul-off speeds has been investigated using Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS). The processing parameters, namely haul-off speed and distance down the tape-line have been varied and the resulting crystalline morphology is described from detailed analysi...

The impact of the composition blends comprising low-density polyethylene (LDPE), isotactic polypropylene (PP) and a styrenic copolymer additive on thermomechanical properties as well direct-current (DC) electrical thermal conductivity is investigated. presence 5 weight percent (wt%) strongly reduces amount PP that needed to enhance storage modulus above melting temperature LDPE from 40 24 wt%. ...
