hdpe monofilaments were obtained using different extruders and drawn by post-extruder equipments. after solidification, drawn and undrawn monofilaments (draw ratio 7:1) were irradiated with 10 mev electron beams in air at room temperature at 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 kgy dose ranges to induce a network structure. hdpe crosslinking was studied on the basis of gel content measurements. the fibers w...

Plastic in any form is a nuisance to the well-being of the environment. The 'pestilence' caused by it is mainly due to its non-degradable nature. With the industrial boom and the population explosion, the usage of plastic products has increased. A steady increase has been observed in the use of plastic products, and this has accelerated the pollution. Several attempts have been made to curb the...

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) blends of varying composition have been evaluated in an effort to establish a mixing rule for melt flow index (MFI). In addition, previously established relationship between MFI M w ¯ $$ \overline{M_w} linear polymers was also these blends. It found that parabolic existed the (by weight fraction) held this set polymeric materials. Addition...
