Plastics wastes from a municipal solid waste (MSW) plant have a high-energy content and are suitable for fuel generation. Thermal cracking is one of the possible ways to obtain petrochemical feedstock from polymer wastes. Municipal waste plastic of LDPE conversion to kerosene grade fuel experiments were carried out under atmospheric conditions at temperatures between 150 ̊C and 420 ̊C. Low densit...

Multidielectric polyethylene is a material that is generally employed as insulation for  the HVDC isolations. In this paper, the influence of temperature on space charge dynamics has been studied, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) sandwiched between two electrodes were subjected to voltage application of 5kV (14.3 kV/mm) for extended duration of time ...

Methodology Active packaging material was low density polyethylene (LDPE) film incorporated with Tinuvin 326(UV absorber) and iron powder in different concentrations (0-0.5% and 0-15% w/w, respectively). Eleven treatments were performed according to the central composite design (CCD) in order to evaluate changes in mechanical, physical and barrier properties of films. Moreover, the influence of...

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is produced by free radical polymerization. Industrially, LDPE polymerization process is usually carried out in a continuous mode (tubular or autoclave reactors) at high pressures (1300-3400 atm) and temperatures (50-340 0 C). LDPE exhibits a number of desirable properties, including high tensile strength, flexibility, high impact resistance, low crystallinity, l...

This article reports a study of the thermo-oxidation and biodegradation in the soil of low-density polyethylene/starch films (LDPE/starch) by infrared spectroscopy: Films of LDPE/Starch blends of different composition (starch content range from 0 to 15% w/w),were prepared and exposed to thermo-oxidation at different temperatures at 80, 90 and 100°C,and buried in the soil of public dump duri...

This report describes the production of ERM-EC680m, a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) material certified for the mass fraction of elements. The material was produced following ISO Guide 34:2009. An LDPE material containing certain elements was prepared from commercially sourced low-density polyethylene and organic and inorganic pigments. The material was extruded, mixed and filled into bottles....

The influence of different additives: high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and TiO2 nanoparticles on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET)–rubber nanocomposite interface was investigated. The composites obtained by compression moulding from tire rubber and PET bottles’ waste were partially heterogeneous and partially compatible, as confirmed by the FTIRmeasurements. ...
