Tensile and impact behavior of polypropylene/low density polyethylene blends

Blends of polypropylene (PP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) may contribute to make recycling more economically attractive. The aim of this work was to make PP/LDPE blends (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25 and 100/0 w/w) via injection molding carried out under various injection temperatures and to evaluate their tensile and impact properties. The blends yielded tensile stress–strain curves very d...

Determination of percent polyethylene in polyethylene/polypropylene blends using cast film FTIR techniques

Polyethylene (PE) is the most common group of thermoplastic polymers due to its low cost and versatile physical properties. PE is blended with polypropylene (PP) to improve physical properties, such as low temperature impact performance. The composition of these blends is important with regard to performance, and the correct mixing of the pure homopolymers (PE and PP) can eliminate the need for...

Branch Content of Metallocene Polyethylene

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is employed to investigate the structure and longchain branch (LCB) content of metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene (PE). A novel scaling approach is applied to SANS data to determine themole fraction branch content (φbr) of LCBs in PE. The approach also provides the average number of branch sites per chain (nbr) and the average number of branch sites per min...

Biodegradation of polyethylene and polypropylene

Polyethylene and polypropylene are the two polyolefins with wide ranging applications. They are recalcitrant and hence remain inert to degradation and deterioration leading to their accumulation in the environment, and, therefore creating serious environmental problems. In this review, biodegradation of these two polymers under in vitro conditions is reported. An attempt has been made to cover ...

Characterization of polypropylene–polyethylene blends by temperature rising elution and crystallization analysis fractionation

The introduction of single-site catalysts in the polyolefins industry opens new routes to design resins with improved performance through multicatalyst-multireactor processes. Physical combination of various polyolefin types in a secondary extrusion process is also a common practice to achieve new products with improved properties. The new resins have complex structures, especially in terms of ...
