Abstract Ceramic polymer materials have great future applications in the field of fireproof materials. However, ceramic polyolefins shortcomings such as few available inorganic fillers, high sintering temperature, and low flexural strength. Therefore, achieving rapid ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber (EPDM) is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Herein, we prepared EPDM using pyrophyllite ...

Mechanical properties and morphologies of HDPE/bamboo flour (BF) composites modified with two maleated ethylene/propylene elastomers (EPR-g-MA) and one maleated polyethylene (PE-g-MA) were investigated. The concentration of each modifier varied between 0 and 8.3 wt% based on the total composite weight. The highest values in strengths and moduli were achieved for the composites containing PE-gMA...

Fruit ripening in response to treatments with propylene, 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP), and low temperature was characterized in 'Sanuki Gold' kiwifruit, Actinidia chinensis Planch. Propylene treatment immediately induced rapid fruit softening, increased AC-PG (polygalacturonase) and AC-EXP (expansin) mRNA accumulation, and stimulated an increase in the soluble solid concentration (SSC) and a dec...
