<p class="JARTEAbstract">In this study was analyzed the effect of three different compatibilizers polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), unmodified halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), and HNTs treated by silanization with (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GLYMO) (silanized HNTs) in blends bio-based high-density polyethylene (bioPE) poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) a weight ratio (70/...

−The purpose of this investigation was to enhance the dissolution rate of loratadine using polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) solid dispersions (SDs). The solubility behavior of loratadine in the presence of polyethylene glycol 4000 and polyethylene glycol 6000 in water showed linear increase with increasing concentrations of PEG, indicating AL type solubility diagrams. SDs of loratadine with PEG 6...

New methods are being developed to enable the production of value-added materials from high-volume, low-cost feedstocks arising from domestic recycling streams. In this work, recycled bottle-grade polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, and polypropylene were spun into fibers from the melt using a centrifugal spinning technique. Mono-component fibers and 50/50 blends of each polymer and a 33/3...

The blending of aliphatic polyolefins and aromatic poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) based on different intrinsic viscosities (IV) was conducted in a torque rheometer. The comparison of blend components in terms of low density polythene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) in blending with PET was investigated, and the effects of the IV and proportion of PET on polymer blends are discussed in detail....

Films for agricultural applications, such as greenhouses films or mulching are generally made of polyolefins linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) polyethylene. However, the use biodegradable and/or compostable polymers is increasing, which enjoy additional advantage that they can be left on site since a fine life would gradually assimilated to underlying soil. Nevertheless, polymeric often d...

Physiochemical characterization of diluted molasses and three different soils were carried out for additive plant nutrients such as phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical parameters. The seeds of Lady’s finger (of make Ankur) were sown in each polythene bag containing 0%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% etc. blended soil with diluted molasses. The growth of plants was monitored regularly a...
