ABSTRACT: – The increasing awareness of environment, government has promoted great interest in selected waste collection and has attracted the interest of research groups to challenge of converting recycled plastic into useful products. Converting PET containing film laminate waste is studied to obtain a new material with enhanced properties. In present study different percentage of film lamina...

In this paper, we are focusing on comparing results obtained for polymer elements manufactured with injection molding and additive manufacturing techniques. The analysis was performed fused deposition modeling (FDM) single screw regards to the standards used in thermoplastics processing technology. We argue that cross-section structure of sample via FDM is key factor fabrication high-strength c...

PURPOSE To investigate repositioning accuracy in particle radiotherapy in 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT, 3 DOF) for two immobilization devices (Scotchcast masks vs thermoplastic head masks) currently in use at our institution for fractionated radiation therapy in head and neck cancer patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS Position verifications in patients tre...

Abstract Thermoplastic elastomer foams based on styrene–ethylene–butylene–styrene (SEBS)/polypropylene (PP) were produced by using different processing techniques such as extrusion and injection molding to achieve optimized mechanical thermal properties in terms of strength, elongation, damping capability. Foaming is a method introducing gas-filled cells into the material it considered an effec...

High voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission cable is critical for realising sustainability through renewable energy revolution. Eco-friendly thermoplastic polypropylene (PP)-based polymers/nanocomposites are regarded as promising candidates replacing thermoset crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) cables. As an essential component of the extruded HVDC improving conductor/insulation interfac...

Abstract Biodegradable PLA which is produced by polymerization of lactic acid derived from the starch plants a good candidate for replacing current petroleum-based polymers such as polystyrene (PS) or Polypropylene (PP) in food packaging application. These do contribute to large-scale environmental pollution it non-degradable polymer. Being classified Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) contact...

a resilient soft liner (rsl) has been used in processed complete dentures but controlling its thickness has always been a challenge because of uneven reduction of the denture's intaglio surface. use of a thermoplastic vacuum-formed template and an endodontic k-file, as guides, for the reduction of a processed mandibular complete denture to receive rsl is described in the present report. a proce...

Recycled high-density polyethylene (r-HDPE) was combined with waste carbon fiber by loading 6 k, 12 and 24 k tows through an extruder to create thermoplastic/carbon pellets volume fractions of 11.2%, 18.9%, 29.5%, respectively. Tensile flexural coupons were subsequently produced via injection molding novel 3D printing. The addition into r-HDPE in all cases showed increased mechanical properties...
