Waste plastic pollution is a serious issue. In order to adhere the concept of green development and rationally dispose polyethylene waste products, (PE)-modified asphalt was prepared using recycled (RPE) low-density (LDPE) as raw materials. The chemical structures RPE- LDPE-modified were studied Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), dispersion RPE fluorescence microscope (FM). Subsequ...

Disposing of plastic wastes to landfill is becoming undesirable due to legislation pressures, rising costs and the poor biodegradability of commonly used polymers. In addition, incineration meets with strong societal opposition. Therefore, recycling either mechanical or chemical, seems to be the only route of plastic wastes management towards sustainability. Polyolefins, mainly polyethylene (LD...

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...

UNLABELLED In this research, the effects of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) packages containing micrometer-sized silver particles (LDPE-Ag) on microbial and sensory factors of dried barberry were investigated in comparison with the pure LDPE packages. LDPE-Ag packages with 1% and 2% concentrations of silver particles statistically caused a decrease in the microbial growth of barberry, especiall...

In this study heparin was covalently immobilized onto LDPE-VEMAC sheet fabricated by the introduction of carboxyl groups to the surface of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) using a plasma technique. The plasma irradiation time influenced the density of carboxyl groups on the LDPE-VEMAC sheet. Heparin was immobilized on the LDPE-VEMAC sheet using a condensation reagent, N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N...

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a major cause of persistent and long-term environmental pollution. In this paper, two bacterial isolates Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BSM-1) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BSM-2) were isolated from municipal solid soil and used for polymer degradation studies. The microbial degradation LDPE was analyzed by dry weight reduction of LDPE film, change in pH of cul...

This study aims to characterise fatigue cracking of two types waste-derived (bio-oil and LDPE) bitumen. Modified Paris’ law Griffith criterion were proposed investigate crack propagation initiation the Results show that bio-oil delays LDPE accelerates initiation, bitumen itself dominates unaged The did not take effects in altering bitumen’s performance after pressure ageing vessel (PAV) ageing....

The potential utilization of melamine impregnated paper (MIP) waste in thermoplastic composites was investigated. Composites were also manufactured utilizing wood flour (WF) at the same filler rates for comparison. using a compression molding method. effects type and rate on mechanical properties low-density polyethylene (LDPE)-based evaluated. Mechanical properties, such as tensile flexural st...
