The UK Dairy Roadmap has set a target of achieving 50 wt.-% high density polyethylene (HDPE) recyclate in their HDPE milk bottles. Such content will lead to the accumulation recyclates that have been subjected different number melt extrusion cycles supply chain. This work investigates structure-property relationship blending virgin (vHDPE) with these grades repeatedly melt-extruded (rHDPE). was...

Systems A. Goyanes, U. Det-Amornrat, J. Wang, A. Basit, S. Gaisford University College London Purpose 3D printing (3DP) technology offers the potential to revolutionize the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing, with the ability to fabricate structures of precise geometries from a 3D model. In fused-deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing a polymer filament is heated and extruded through a small...

The recycling of waste plastics that include plastics that contain chlorine, such as polyvinyl chloride, is difficult because the chlorine leads to the corrosion of equipment. Then, the dechlorination method of waste plastics containing chlorine (CCWP) that consists of a series of melt process and hot water process was examined. CCWP was put into the melt process with coal tar (HOB) and convert...

Nowadays, the production of 3D MEMS and MOEMS is carried out by using hybrid integration of single components, for which batch production is normally preferred. In this field, adhesive technology is one of the major joining techniques. At the Collaboration Research Center 516, a batch process based on a joining technique which uses hot melt adhesives was developed. This technique allows the coa...
