Objectives . To investigate the production and biological degradation of biodegradable hybrid compositions (BHCs), dispersed-filled with starch-containing products various origins distilled monoglycerides, along biodegradation based on low density polyethylene thermoplastic starch (TPS) origins: corn, pea, rice. Methods Thermoplastic was obtained native starches several types, which were proces...

Hydrogen is largely produced via natural gas reforming or electrochemical water-splitting, leaving organic solid feedstocks under-utilized. Plasma technology powered by renewable electricity can lead to the sustainable upcycling of plastic waste and production green hydrogen. In this work, low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma reactors based on transferred arc (transarc) gliding (glidarc)...

Spores of Bacillus subtilis var. niger, dried on nonhygroscopic and hygroscopic surfaces, were enclosed in one of four thicknesses of low-density polyethylene film (2, 4, 6, and 20 mils). The surfaces were then placed in a specially designed thermochemical death rate apparatus and exposed to an ethylene oxide concentration of 600 mg/liter (at 54.4 C) and 50% relative humidity. Survival data, in...
