nowadays, polymer blends usages increase more and more in order to produce materials with better properties. according to many research works, the blends of polyolefins have shown industrial importance. the purpose of this project was to carry out some investigations on fibers melt spun from the polypropylene and low density polyethylene blends. pp and ldpe are immiscible. pp/ldpe blend filamen...

The fracture toughness of a polymer-metal laminate composite is obtained by mechanical testing of a specimen containing a pre-crack. The laminate is a material used for packaging. It consists of a thin aluminium foil and a polymer coating. A centre cracked panel test geometry is used. Each of the layers forming the laminate is also tested separately. The result is compared with the measured fra...

We had immobilized cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 and CYP reductase (CPR) onto a self-assembled phospholipid layer containing stearic acid (LDPE-StA-PC-SA) to confirm the functional interaction between CPR. The formation of resorufin from 7-ethoxy was observed by use film immobilizing CPR LDPE-StA-PC-SA. It clarified that fluidity LDPE-StA-PC-SA very important. actual activity did not depend on dens...

This study evaluated the incidence of concentrated natural fibre, as well as the effects of adding a crosslinking agent on the torque when those components are mixed with low density polyethylene (LDPE). The natural fibre has a particle size of between 0.8-1.2mm and a moisture content of 0.17%. An internal mixer was used to measure the torque required to mix the polymer with the fibre. The effe...

Present investigation evaluates the LDPE (low-density polyethylene) biodegradation efficiency of polymer degrading bacteria along with UV, nitric acid and surfactant treatments. In current scenario LDPE contamination reported as dominant pollutant in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem due to its expulsion from commercial and domestic practices. Biodegradation serve as an innovative and effective...

Atmospheric pressure discharge plasma has been studied and applied to environmental purification in recent years. We have been trying to purify diesel exhaust gas and we have verified that the combination of discharge plasma and honeycomb catalyst is quite effective for the exhaust treatment. However, complicated setup of high voltage power supplies and electrodes is required to generate stable...

In the present study, 7% silver-low-density thin polyethylene films were successfully prepared through the melt mixing method. These films were applied to reduce the harmful antibacterial properties of Huso huso fillets at refrigeration temperatures, thus extending their shelf life. The total viable bacteria count for H. huso fillets wrapped in a 7% Ag/LDPE nanocomposite was 3.04±2.43 (log CFU/...

In this study, two strains of Aspergillus sp. and Lysinibacillus sp. with remarkable abilities to degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were isolated from landfill soils in Tehran using enrichment culture and screening procedures. The biodegradation process was performed for 126 days in soil using UV- and non-UV-irradiated pure LDPE films without pro-oxidant additives in the presence and abse...

Polyolefins are of vast economic importance, which is reflected by an annual production of more than 70 million tons of polyethylene and polypropylene. While the major portion of these materials is produced with Zieglerand chromium-based catalysts, the older free-radical process that affords low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has maintained its significance.[1] Despite the necessity of working at ...

Bu çalışmada, en önemli çevresel sorunlardan birini çözmek ve düşük maliyetli malzemelerle bitüm performans özelliklerini geliştirmek için atık plastiklerden olan yoğunluklu polietilen (LDPE) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan 2 farklı LDPE 4 oranda (%1, %2, %3 %4) ilave edilerek modifiye bitümler hazırlanmıştır. Saf bitümlere penetrasyon, yumuşama noktası, iki sıcaklıkta (135°C 165°C) dönel ...
