High emissions from soil fumigants increase the risk of detrimental impact on workers, bystanders, and the environment, and jeopardize future availability of fumigants. Efficient and cost-effective approaches to minimize emissions are needed. This study evaluated the potential of surface water application (or water seal) to reduce 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) emissions from soil (Hanford sandy l...

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...

The effect of blending a small amount high-density polyethylene (HDPE) on molecular entanglements during melt-drawing ultrahigh-molecular-weight (UHMW-PE) was investigated in this study. UHMW-PE powders with HDPE added and bimodal MW distribution were synthesized by reactor blending. In situ wide-angle X-ray diffraction small-angle scattering measurements UHMW-PE/HDPE films performed to evaluat...

Abstract This paper aimed to produce a bio-based filament, suitable for 3D printing (fused deposition modeling), made of surface modified cellulose fiber and high density polyethylene. The fibers (CF) were first transformed into CF-based macroinitiator through an esterification reaction with the 2-bromoisobutyric acid. We finally studied ability this initiate single electron transfer-living rad...

This work aims to produce a 3D-printable bio-based filament composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and chemically modified cellulose nanofibrils. Printing using HDPE as raw material is challenging due its massive shrinkage warping problems. paper presents new method overcome those difficulties by enhancing the mechanical properties achieving better print quality. was achieved nanofibrils ...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is the most promising technique in present era to bring sustainability, reliability, and pseudo ductility concrete structures due its superior properties. Thermoplastic thermoset polymers are thrown-out synthetic waste that contributes environmental pollution for a long time. Knowing this issue an attempt was made use High-Density Polyethylene Fiber (HDPE) fillers...

The mechanical properties of virgin/recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blends over the complete concentration range was thoroughly investigated in this work. In particular, a focus made on long-term via fatigue. Two different mixing methods, namely powder (dry blending) and extrusion (melt blending), were used to determine effect processing conditions tensile fatigue behavior after compr...

MWCNT/HDPE nanocomposite spur gears prepared in concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5% by weight using centrifugal ball milling dispersion method followed CNC milling. SEM examination revealed a sound the MWCNT HDPE matrix until 2 wt.%. Nanocomposites exhibited higher decomposition temperature thermal stability than neat HDPE. Yield strength increased linearly nanocomposites up to wt.%, ...
