improving barrier properties through the use of nanocomposites is an important area of research, especially for the food packaging industry. in this work, titanium dioxide (tio2 )/low density poly ethylene (ldpe) nanocomposites were synthesized as the oxygen barrier layers through the co-extrusion process. the oxygen permeability of the nanocomposite with 4% of tio2 decreased for about 16% comp...

A three-step multiscale modeling approach to predict and thus control polymer properties, such as flow behavior linear well non-linear rheology, based on polymerization conditions, is developed applied for long-chain branched low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The consists of i) a deterministic kinetic model the description conversion average characteristics, ii) hybrid stochastic Monte Carlo pol...

The influence of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymers on the characteristics local asphalt binder was analyzed to characterize rheological properties. results indicated that SBR LDPE increased softening point. point enhanced by around 35% when 9% used in comparison unmodified asphalt, while there a 15% increment used. also decreased penetration rate. decrea...

Graphite lacquer was simply sprayed on glass and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) substrates to obtain large area films. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images, Raman spectra, X Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectra current-voltage characteristics show that at room temperature, the as-deposited films different have similar morphological, structural electrical properties. The morphological characteriz...

The quality of the road depends on pavement, drainage conditions, and materials. For this reason, it is necessary to make innovations in improving one which increasing material. There are many types pavements, porous asphalt pavement. Porous has cavities that easy for water pass but a low stability value with high permeability. This research will utilize Low Density Poly Ethylene (LDPE), as an ...

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is found to be a highly effective conductivity-reducing additive for low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which introduces new application area the field of conjugated polymers. Additives that reduce direct-current (DC) electrical conductivity an insulation material at high electric fields have gained lot research interest because they may facilitate design more effici...

Simultaneous thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry studies of a pyrolytic decomposition of mixtures of different plastic wastes/coking coal were carried out. The investigation was performed at temperatures up to 1000oC in a helium atmosphere under dynamic conditions at a heating rate of 25 oC/min. Five thermoplastics, commonly found in municipal wastes: low density polyethylene (LDPE), high densit...

The possibility of using cellulose from the cell walls of kenaf, an annual herbaceous crop, for the production of bicomposites was investigated in this study. The composites were prepared using LDPE, as a matrix, the extracted cellulose, as filler and PEG as a plasticizer. The characterization of biocomposites was then performed with optimized thermo-mechanical properties and propensity to envi...

Asphalt concrete pavements have a short life cycle, failing mainly due to temperature changes, traffic loading and ageing. Modified asphalt mixtures provide the technology to produce a bituminous binder with improved viscoelastic properties, which remain in balance over a wider temperature range and loading conditions. In this research, 60/70 penetration grade asphalt binder was modified by add...
