Several composite blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and lignocellulosic fibers were prepared and characterized. Cohesive and flexible cast films were obtained by blending lignocellulosic fibers derived from orange waste and PVA with or without cornstarch. Films were evaluated for their thermal stability, water permeability and biodegradation properties. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indica...

The use of biodegradable polymers in tissue engineering has been widely researched due to their ability degrade and release components a controlled manner, allowing for the potential regeneration tissues. Melt blending is common method controlling degradation rate these polymers, which involves combining materials molten state create homogenous mixture with tailored properties. In this study, p...

In this paper, we present the results of dispersion thermodynamically immiscible polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene triple synthetic rubber (EPTSR) polymer blends using Solution-Enhanced Dispersion by Supercritical Fluid (SEDS) technique at operation conditions in pressure range (8 to 25) MPa temperatures t = 40 °C 60 °C. The kinetics crystallization phase transformation obtained convent...

nanoclay/triphenyl phosphate hybrid system was employed to examine the fire retardancy and mechanical properties of pc/abs blends. each of the polymers and their blends are widely used in the automotive, electrical andelectronic industries. because most thermoplastics are easily combustible they need to be flame retarded to reduce the burning rate especially in the initial phase of a fire incid...

Image blending is very important for image stitching with visible seams. An effective blending method for panoramic images in image-based virtual reality is proposed in this paper. The proposed blending method is a two-phase scheme. The histogram-based blending is first applied in the first phase scheme; and then in the second phase scheme, the weighted blending is used under the result of the ...

Abstract Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as an ideal choice of biomaterial for specific applications. In this study, PHA was synthesized and purified from Pseudomonas mendocina PSU. These obtained then determined its monomer composition found that 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) a major component, in addition, the molecular weight were also investigated. The average Mw 8.39 ×10 4 when grown MSM ...
