There is a paramount demand on the enhancement of plastic package properties to reduce food loss and waste. With this awareness, ternary composite films based low density polyethylene (LDPE) reinforced with silver- (Ag/FS), copper- (Cu/FS) copper hydroxynitrate-fumed silica (CuHS/FS) micron-sized dual-side fillers, were produced via melt-blending compression molding techniques. The exhibited an...

Abstract This research aims to assess the properties of Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) binder prepared with different types additives such as (Waste low density polyethylene (W-LDPE) and crumb rubbers (CR)and Styrene Butadiene (SBS)). Most these are sustainable materials since it is derived from old scrap materials. All above-mentioned (W-LDPE, CR SBS) were added percentages (2, 4, 6 percentage...

In this work, the physicomechanical, chemical and thermal properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) modified with a biocide containing metal nanoparticles: nanoAg, nanoCu, nanoFe2O3 were examined. The presented studies, apart from previously proven antimicrobial effectiveness, have shown that application in concentrations 0.5% 1% has least influence on remaining properties. (2–5%), despite ...

This article focuses on increasing the shelf life of both pasteurized (Pa) and traditional (Tr) butters wrapped in Ag-Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) film concentration 2.5%, 7.5%, 12.5%, 17.5% at refrigerated temperature up to one month. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized (20.63 nm) through chemical reduction followed by melt mixing method produce Ag-LDPE films. A mixed model-ANOVA Repeated...

Microplastic particles (MPs) are widely distributed pollutants in the environment. While a growing number of studies have shown that MPs toxic to plant and animal life, systemic efforts reduce their presence been scarce. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polystyrene (PS) one most common among all plastic-forming MPs. In this study, pure bacterial strains, Bacillus licheniformis Lysinibacillus &lt...

Abstract This research focuses on recycling rubber tire waste through pyrolysis to produce recovered carbon black (rCB). The rCB is combined with recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE), calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), fatty acid, metallic stearate, and (PE) wax create an masterbatch for household packaging. Surface modification of CaCO particles using stearic acid improves the compatibility LDP...

Many road construction and maintenance projects are increasingly using recycled material as pavement material. Most of the times, generic sustainability evaluations ascribed to products without fully considering their performance. The potential environmental benefits various alternatives can be analytically evaluated with Life Cycle Assessment while many performance indicators found through lab...

In this study, two packaging materials, modified polypropylene (MPP) and polyethylene terephthalate/aluminum/ low-density (PETFA-Al-LDPE) were studied under various atmospheric conditions: 100 % CO2, 70 N2 - 30 80 20 CO2 for packing probiotic ultrafiltered (UF) white brined cheese. pH, titratable acidity, moisture content, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei viability overall acceptability monitored w...

The influence of intensity the ?-irradiation on commercial high and low density polyethylene (LDPE HDPE) granules (Kazanorgsintez PJSC, Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia) their rheological morphological properties at irradiation doses 5 10 kGy was studied. Experiments in oscillation mode revealed an increase dynamic moduli values with increasing radiation dose compared to initial samples. At same doses,...

Abstract. The mechanical properties of polymer composites based on polylactide vary significantly over a wide range values. It has been established that photodegradation low-density polyethylene – blends occurs both in the amorphous and crystalline phase PLA matrix, which leads to deterioration studied mixtures. Ozonolysis affects strength parameters polylactide-polyethylene samples as well pho...
