The use of plastic much films has been fundamental to promoting food production in many regions the world. However, concern is growing about progressive accumulation residues soil after crop harvest and its subsequent impact on health potential enter chain. Although biodegradable have developed prevent these problems, it still unclear whether they are environmentally benign. Here we evaluated p...

The present work reports on the preparation and subsequent mechanical, morphological thermal characterization of composites based poly(butylene adipate terephthalate) (PBAT), reinforced with micro-particles inorganic bioabsorbable calcium-phosphate glass (CPG) at different contents up to 40 wt%. PBAT-CPG were prepared by solvent casting. resulting composite pellets used for injection molding mo...

In this paper the effect of a novel bifunctional additive [cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT)] was investigated on the rheological, curing and mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), oil extended styrene butadiene rubber (oSBR), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM). Results showed, that CBT acted as an effective l...

Abstract Composites of nano‐sized barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) with volume fractions up to 0.5 and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) or linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) were made via extrusion. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that BaTiO is well dispersed in the polymer matrices. The crystalline content (DSC) thermal stability (TGA) both polymers decreased increasing loading. Die...
