PHB has been engineered by incorporating different levulinic acid-based bioplasticizers, which enhance flexibility and thermal processability of the neat biopolymer, while retaining excellent biocompatibility biodegradability.

Long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFTs) are an attractive design option for many engineering applications due to their excellent mechanical properties and processability. When processing these materials, the length of fibers inevitably decreases, which ultimately affects performance finished part. Since none existing modeling techniques can accurately predict fiber damage LFTs during inject...

The aim of the article is to evaluate possibility measuring technological industrialisation according so-called author’s special criterion, which, in contrast general criterion that measures level by changing share manufacturing sectors economy, includes production volume carried out on old and new technologies. research methodology based theory restructuring industrialising methods for evaluat...

This work demonstrates how the addition of few-layer graphene (FLG) influences processability and mechanical properties mixed polyolefin waste stream (R-(PE/PP)). Three different types compounds were investigated: (1) R-(PE/PP) with FLG; (2) blends prime polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) PP copolymer; (3) both polymer FLG. The was assessed by measuring torque during melt extrusion, flow i...
