Banana fiber (BaF)-filled composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE)/Nylon-6 blends were prepared via a two-step extrusion method. Maleic anhydride grafted styrene/ethylene-butylene/styrene triblock polymer (SEBS-g-MA) and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) were used to enhance impact performance and interfacial bonding between BaF and the resins. Mechanical, crystallizat...

Reducing emissions is essential for minimizing the impact of soil fumigation on the environment. Water application to the soil surface (or water seal) has been demonstrated to reduce 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) emissions in soil column tests. This study determined the effectiveness of water application to reduce emissions of 1,3-D and chloropicrin (CP) in comparison to other surface seals under...

Aiming to develop more robust, mechanically advanced, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) materials, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) nanocomposites were developed in the current research work. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) was selected as filler be incorporated into HDPE matrix concentration steps of 0.5, 2.5, 5, and 10 wt.%. 3D printing nanocomposite filaments extruded ~1.75 mm diameter used print tes...

Utilization of the recycled waste materials for new products is considered as a viable solution saving environment. This study paper targets performance evaluation hot-mix asphalt made with modified bitumen 60/70 containing 3 % and 5 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) (by weight optimum bitumen). First, properties mixtures including specific density, penetration depth, ductility, softening point ...
