The study described the preparation of composite material through dispersion carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in matrix blending natural rubber (NR) and polyethylene (PE), for use as an antibacterial agent. FESEM results indicated uniform defect-free surface synthesized composites. mechanical properties improved a 65% increase tensile strength, 38% elongation...

This present paper investigates the influenceof clay (Cloisite 10A) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) loading for tensile, flexural, thermal stability water absorption properties of recycled thermoplastic blend made from high-density polyethylene (rHDPE)and terephthalate (rPET). The nanocomposites were prepared via extrusion blending technique by using extruder compressed hot cold press ...

In this work, the compatibility and crystallinity of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polybutene-1 (PB-1) blends were studied. Various blends of LDPE/PB-1 containing 5, 10 and 20 wt.% PB-1 were prepared in a corotating twin-screw extruder and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), shear oscillation rheology and wide-angle X-ray diffractometry (WAXD). A matrix-droplet morphology...

The Non-Linear Strain Energy Equivalence Theory, a semi-empirical model, is utilized to predict longterm creep from short-term compressive stress-strain experiments conducted at different strain rates. Stress-strain experiments in uni-axial compression are performed at strain rates of 3 and 0.03 %/minute to predict creep behavior and stress-strain data at several strain rates for an immiscible ...

Mixed-conducting lithium-ion doped emeraldine polyaniline (PAni)–polyethylene oxide (PEO) blends have been developed to achieve an optimal electronic– ionic conductivity balance in nano-tin composite anodes. Electrochemical evaluation was performed on the anodes with differing electrode preparation procedures, doping methods and PEO contents. Results indicate that both good electronic and ionic...

In this work, rheological properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), low density polyethylene (LDPE) polymer blends were investigated in the molten state. The experiments were carried on a capillary rheometer. The effect of shear stress, temperature and blending ratio on the flow activation energy at a constant shear stress and melt viscosity of the blends are described. The results showed that the...

ABSTRACT: – The increasing awareness of environment, government has promoted great interest in selected waste collection and has attracted the interest of research groups to challenge of converting recycled plastic into useful products. Converting PET containing film laminate waste is studied to obtain a new material with enhanced properties. In present study different percentage of film lamina...
