In this work, polymer composite materials based on linear low-density polyethylene and iron oxide nanoparticles were obtained. Nanoparticles of synthesized in plasma discharge under ultrasonic cavitation. When preparing materials, the concentration was varied from 0.5 to 20 wt. %. Measurements elastic modulus as well dynamic tests revealed strong dependence mechanic properties nanoparticle conc...

Dabai or Canarium odontophyllum Miq., from the family Burseraceae, is an important indigenous fruit to Borneo Island. However, it is a highly perishable fruit with short shelf life. Postharvest technology such as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) can be used to maintain highly perishable fresh fruit quality and increase its shelf life. There is not much work has been carried out to study effe...

Olefin fibers, also called polyolefin fibers, are defined as manufactured fibers in which the fiber-forming substance is a synthetic polymer of at least 85 wt% ethylene, propylene, or other olefin units (1). Several olefin polymers are capable of forming fibers, but only polypropylene [9003-07-0] (PP) and, to a much lesser extent, polyethylene [9002-88-4] (PE) are of practical importance. Olefi...

Research of different asphalt modifiers has been necessary for the attempt to construct durable roads with higher standards. Fischer Tropsch-paraffin wax (Sasobit) recently attracted considerable attention over polymer modification due its capacity lower energy requirements asphaltic mix construction. In this study, Sasobit was used recover performance as well workability 3 wt% linear low-densi...
