This paper focuses on preparation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based composites reinforced with okra bast fibers at different percentages 5, 10, 20% via solution casting method. Fibers obtained from sections plants were biologically degummed and scoured Na2CO3. Selected bleached, treated maleic anhydride or grafted vinyl acetate. Mechanical, physical biodegradational properties the investigated...

new edible composite films formed from salep (orchis mascula) and 10%, 20%, and 30% (w/w) oleic acid were prepared by emulsification with the aim of improving the water vapor barrier and mechanical properties of the film. as oleic acid concentration increased up to 30% (w/w), oxygen permeability (27%), elongation at break (86%) and thickness (2%) of salep films increased significantly and the t...

Blending of rubber is an important route to modify properties individual elastomeric components in order obtain optimum chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. In this study, a novel modification styrene butadiene (SBR) made by employing acrylic (ACM) blends outstanding mechanical, dynamic, oil resistance achieve those properties, we used unique vulcanizing system that improves the cross...

In the present paper, a series of totally novel bio-nanocomposite films from cellulose laurate (CL) and starch nanocrystals acetate (SNA) were fabricated, and the properties of nanocomposite films were investigated in detail. SNA was obtained by modifying starch nanocrystals (SNs) produced by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of corn starch with acetic anhydride. The favorable dispersity of SNA in chlor...

Lithography-based additive manufacturing was introduced in the 1980s, and is still the method of choice for printing accurate plastic parts with high surface quality. Recent progress in this field has made tough photopolymer resins and cheap LED light engines available. This study presents the influence of photoinitiator selection and post-processing on the thermomechanical properties of variou...

Plastics occupy wide place in the applications of automotive, electronics and house goods. Especially reinforced plastics become popular because of their high strength besides their advantages of low weight and easy manufacturability. In this study, mechanical and morphological properties of polypropylene (PP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix composites reinforced with surface modifi...

Gelatin composite films were prepared from gelatin solutions (10% w/v) containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% w/w gelatin) as nanofiller. The water solubility, water swelling, water uptake, water vapor permeability (WVP), mechanical, and antibacterial properties of the films were examined. Water solubility, water swelling, water uptake, and WVP for gelatin films we...

A melt-blended and melt-filtered real post-consumer and recyclable waste electrical and electronic equipment plastics blend (WEEEBR) was studied, where the WEEEBR contained mainly acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (~40 wt %), high impact polystyrene (~40 wt %) and polypropylene (~10 wt %). The main aim was to better understand the influence of different reprocessing conditions on the me...

Aim of study: In this study, the effect lignocellulosic filler and coupling agent amount on physical mechanical properties produced sugar beet pulp/LDPE composites were researched.
 Material methods: Wood-plastic using compression molding method. The (maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene) (density water uptake analyses) (tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, flexural imp...
