Today, the economic consumption of biodegradable polymers is of capital importance in many applications. One of the most commonly used biopolymers is polylactic acid (PLA). The printability of the biodegradable film has not been fully investigated. This work tested the printability of polylactic acid (PLA) films and compared the print qualities to common packaging films like low density pol...

Pyrolysis of low density polyethylene (LDPE) by equilibrium fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) was studied in a stirred reactor under different process parameters. In this work, the effect of process parameters such as degradation temperature (420-510°C), catalyst/polymer ratio (0-60%), carrier gas type (H2, N2, ethylene, propylene, Ar and He), residence time and agitator speed (0-300 rpm) on the c...

Nowadays, nanoscale innovations in the forms of pathogen detection, active packaging, antimicrobial packaging and barrier formation are poised to elevate food packaging to new heights. Antimicrobial nanocomposite LDPE films containing ZnO nanoparticles at different concentrations (e.g. 1%, 3%, 5%  and 3%  nano-ZnO pulse 10% polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), w/w pure LDPE), were p...

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...

In recent years, there has been a huge demand for innovative methods to upcycle waste materials. This study aims explore and evaluate the effect of using low-density polyethylene (w-LDPE), collected from plastic bags domestic purposes, on mechanical properties dense Thin Asphalt Overlay (TAO). Waste materials have deemed appropriate in development asphalt pavement mixtures, due expected enhance...

In this research, catalytic cracking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has been carried out in the presence three kinds typical molecular sieves, including ZSM-5, HY and MCM-41, respectively. The effects different catalysts on composition quantity pyrolysis products consisting gas, oil solid material were systematically investigated summarized. Specially, added into LDPE for to obtain regulata...

The impact of the composition blends comprising low-density polyethylene (LDPE), isotactic polypropylene (PP) and a styrenic copolymer additive on thermomechanical properties as well direct-current (DC) electrical thermal conductivity is investigated. presence 5 weight percent (wt%) strongly reduces amount PP that needed to enhance storage modulus above melting temperature LDPE from 40 24 wt%. ...

Solanum nigrum L. has a delightful prospect as hyperaccumulation plant for cadmium pollution remediation, and microplastic is new type of that received wide attention. In this study, the effects polyethylene microplastics (LDPE) (0.135, 0.27, 0.81 1.35 mg·kg-1) (20 on growth indexes soil physical chemical properties were investigated in 17-day microcosm experiment. The results showed single LDP...

Plastic waste generates numerous environmental problems, such as garbage accumulation and plastic pollution in the oceans. This study aims to evaluate effectiveness of melted a substitute material paving blocks. The low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is used cemented agent block. After melting, LDPE mixed thoroughly with sand immediately forms block mold. bonding evaluated based on parameters comp...

This paper proposes a physio-chemically-based constitutive framework to simulate and predict the response of semi-crystalline low-density polyethylene (LDPE) severe photo-oxidation. Photo-oxidation induced by exposure Ultra-Violet (UV) light oxygen is dominant degradation mechanism affecting lifespan LDPE. In this work, we propose evolution functions for material properties in equations \cite{b...
