polypropylene / polystyrene blends containing montmorillonite (mmt) were prepared using a twin screw extruder followed by fiber spinning. the melt intercalation of pp and ps alloys was carried out in the presence of a compatibilizer such as maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene (mpp). the crystallization morphology, thermal behaviors and mechanical properties of polypropylene/polystyrene (pp/ps) nan...

in this study , the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse alkaline-sulfite-anthraquinone, soda-anthraqouinone, monoethanolamine-anthraquinone chemical pulps and mechanical pulp (cmp) known as pulp-plastic compostes (ppc) were investigated and the results were compared among ppcs and with polypropylene composites reinforced with bagasse flour know...

The aim of this study was to compare the results of the surgery of inguinal hernias using flat polypropylene mesh and three-dimensional prolene (PHS) mesh. The study included two groups of 40 male patients, aged 18-50 years, with the diagnosis of inguinal hernia. One group was operated with a flat polypropylene mesh, while the second group was operated with three-dimensional prolene (PHS) mesh....

This study evaluated the influence of the addition of cetrimide and polypropylene glycol to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on its capacity to dissolve pulp tissue. Bovine pulp fragments with standardized weight and volume were immersed for 5, 15 and 30 min in 2 mL of NaOCl and Hypoclean (NaOCl added with cetrimide and polypropylene glycol) solutions at 5.25%, 2.5%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.25% and afterward...

Electrochemical characteristic parameters such as diffusional permeability, ion transport number, fi xed charge concentration and electrical resistance for a regenerated cellulose/polypropylene-supported membrane (RC/PP sample) in contact with NaCl solutions at different concentrations were determined. The effect of the polypropylene support on mass and charge transport was estimated by compari...

In developing a new technique to surface-functionalize low-surface-energy polymers, injection-molded polypropylene was incubated in solutions that encouraged inter-molecular chain separation of surface-positioned polymeric chains and entry of small, monomeric precursors into the sub-layers. The precursors, namely, organosilanes such as aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, were transformed into the reac...

The activity of dibenzylzirconium and dibenzylhafnium Salalen complexes in polymerisation of propylene with MAO as a cocatalyst is described. Three Salalen ligand precursors combining a bulky alkyl group (1-adamantyl) on the imine-side phenol and electron withdrawing halo groups of different sizes on the amine-side phenol were explored. All metal complexes were obtained as single diastereomers....

This paper presents the results and conclusions from experimental investigations concerning filtration properties of nonwovens. The needled nonwovens were made from polyester fibres (PTE) with average fibre diameter 12 micrometres and polypropylene fibres (PP) with average fibre diameter 32 micrometres. Nonwovens were produced out of each of those fibres or out of a mixture of polyester and pol...
