Ricinoloxazoline maleinate (OXA) was grafted by melt free radical grafting onto polyolefins and elastomers to produce new compatibilizers for polymer blends. Effects of initial monomer and peroxide concentrations on the degree of grafting, on the amount of residual monomer, and on the side reactions were investigated. Reactive compatibilizers could be prepared with a suitable choice of processi...

The prevalence of microplastics in soil has recently attracted substantial interest as they pose a major threat to agricultural system. A pot experiment was conducted evaluate the effect polyethylene (PE-MPs) on seedling development blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) two different types during April, 2022 under controlled conditions Department Environmental Sciences, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University,...

This study aimed at elucidating the effect of annealing on positive temperature coefficient characteristics polyethylene/carbon black (PE/CB) composites. The PE/CB composite was annealed 140, 150 or 160°C, and temperature-dependence its resistance measured. internal morphologies composites with different temperatures were observed using a scanning electron microscope, to verify optimum conditio...

Abstract This work reports a facile fabrication method to modify exfoliated molybdenum disulfide (e-MoS2) nanosheets with magnetite nanoparticles various size distribution. The obtained materials have been utilized as nanofillers of polyethylene enhance its thermal properties and flame retardance. incorporation modified MoS 2 leads the reduction peak heat release rate. best conductivity has not...

Characterizing the sorption of drugs onto polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) materials in terms thermodynamic adsorption properties atomistic details (local arrangements, orientation, diffusion) is fundamental for development alternative that would limit drug phenomena plasticizer release. Here, a combination experiments sophisticated calculations potential mean forces are carried ou...

Polymeric floating photocatalysts based on polyethylene (PE)/TiO2 compositions were synthesized by in situ ethylene polymerization the presence of a titanium–magnesium catalyst sequential deposition magnesium–aluminum complex and TiCl4 commercial TiO2 P25. The optical band gap PE/TiO2 composites was shown to be 3.1–3.3 eV, which allowed for their use as utilization solar light. photocatalytic a...

The effect of high shear rate on the mechanical properties polyethylene (PE), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP) waste blend was investigated. process carried out at a temperature 120°C using counter-rotating twin-screw extruder. A constant screw speed 250 rpm weight ratio PE/ PET/PS/PP components 1:1:1:1 were used. preliminary research showed that had n...

Bismuth molybdate (Bi2MoOe) was synthesised by utilizing Bi(NO3)3'5H2O and (NH4)eMo7O24'4H2O through hydrothermal method. Bi2MoOe loaded on polyethylene (PE) to prepare the film with photocatalytic properties. The product characterised XRD UV DRS spectra investigated degradation of sulfanilamide under solar light. results confirmed a efficiency 66%.

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) is a structural polymer widely used in biomedical implants. The mechanical properties of PE can be improved either by controlled crystalline orientation (texture) or by the addition of reinforcing agents. However, the combinatorial effect has not received much attention. The objective of this study was to characterize the structure and mechanical pr...

Results are reported of six plant and three ratoon crop experiments in which the practice of applying a clear polyethylene film (PE film) to sugarcane was evaluated. A yield response to PE film was obtained in three out of the six plant crop experiments but there was no response to a PE film applied to ratoon cane. In five plant cane and in one ratoon cane experiment, substantial improvements i...
