White discoloration on peeled carrots is partially due to surface dehydration which can be controlled with hygroscopic coatings: e.g., polyhydric alcohols and salt solutions. This study was performed at 2.5, 7.5, 10, and 157C, using a model system controlling relative humidity at 33, 75 or 98% or a commercial system with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic film bags. The moisture sorption p...

There is substantial economic interest to optimize the operations of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) tubular reactors. Due to the high complexity of these units, systematic optimization techniques need to be used for this. One of the main limitations associated to this is the high dimensionality and complexity of the multi-zone tubular reactor model. In this work, we demonstrate that a simultan...

The effects of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) treatment on surface chemical composition morphology and albumin adsorption for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were investigated. The attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra and contact angle measurements indicated the formation of oxygen-containing polar groups and double bonds under...

Gas chromatography (GC) is an effective tool for the analysis of complex mixtures with a huge number components. To keep tracking chemical changes during processes like plastic waste pyrolysis usually different sample states are profiled, but retention time drifts between chromatograms make comparability difficult. The aim this study to develop fast and simple method eliminate using easily acce...

In this work, the compatibility and crystallinity of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polybutene-1 (PB-1) blends were studied. Various blends of LDPE/PB-1 containing 5, 10 and 20 wt.% PB-1 were prepared in a corotating twin-screw extruder and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), shear oscillation rheology and wide-angle X-ray diffractometry (WAXD). A matrix-droplet morphology...

The objective of this article aims to reduce indoor air pollution through the use ecological fire starter (EFS) made from sawdust and vegetable oils. In Far North region Cameroon, plastic waste is used ignite stoke solid fuels fires, exposing mainly women children who are responsible for cooking health risks pollution. Thus, survey conducted among population shows that 96% urban households plas...

abstract background: processes such as drying, sauce making, extracting and doping reduced nutritional value and unique sensory characteristics of pomegranate. on the other hand, the difficulty in peeling and removing the arils has limited its fresh consumption. for this reason, the “ready-to-eat” pomegranate may represent a possible option to implement fresh fruit consumption. in this study, t...

In the past two decades number of studies have been reported on use thermoplastics as a substrate for 3D printed patch antennas. However, no work has thermoplastic-thermosetting composite-based antennas and their mechanical, morphological, rheological, radiofrequency (RF) characterization sensing applications. this study low-density polyethylene (LDPE) LDPE-5% bakelite (BAK) antenna (resonating...


 Currently, society and industry are developing at a rapid pace, an increas- ingly serious problem of the modern world is environmental pollution, requiring recycling reuse wastes. Modern technologies in field road construction involve use polymeric materials obtained from waste recycling. Almost nothing known about soil contamination by plastic general destruction roads particular; proba...
