Abstract This research focuses on recycling rubber tire waste through pyrolysis to produce recovered carbon black (rCB). The rCB is combined with recycled low-density polyethylene (rLDPE), calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), fatty acid, metallic stearate, and (PE) wax create an masterbatch for household packaging. Surface modification of CaCO particles using stearic acid improves the compatibility LDP...

This study aims to investigate the effect and possibility of using waste plastic as a sustainable cost-effective polymer modify bitumen binders. Different types have been used in this modification, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density (HDPE), low-density (LDPE). The modification targets physical characteristics, rheological properties, binders’ resistance ageing. Both long- ...

in this research, high oxygen-barrier films were organized based on low-density polyethylene (ldpe)/ ethylene vinyl alcohol (evoh)/ polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (ldpe-g-ma) compatibilizer. the effects of 10–30 wt. % evoh and 0–10 wt. % ldpe-g-ma loadings on the properties of final films were evaluated. the morphology of specimens was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (sem)...

A study was made of the synthesis of oligomeric derivatives of gossypol with epichlorohydrin and allyl halides. The structure of the oligomeric derivatives of gossypol was confirmed by IR spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The antioxidative capacity of the oligomeric derivatives of gossypol in the inhibition of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated. Study of the antioxidative prop...

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high (HDPE) are the principal plastics present in solid plastic waste found out as main components of microplastics marine terrestrial environments. Currently, efforts have been made to develop new effective methods ensure identification separation waste, ensuring necessary purity obtain quality economically competitive recycled products. In this contribution...

An outdoor soil burial test was carried out to evaluate the degradation of commercially available LDPE carrier bags in natural soil for up to 2 years. Biodegradability of low density polyethylene films in soil was monitored using both optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After 7-9 months of soil exposure, microbial colonization was evident on the film surface. Exposed LDPE samples ex...

Lignin, a byproduct of paper and pulp industries, is a sustainable, inexpensive biomaterial with potential as composite filler. Past research on polyolefin/lignin composites made by melt processing has led to modest increases in Young’s modulus and drastic reductions in tensile strength and elongation at break relative to neat polymer. Here, green hybrids of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and ...

Degradation of Petroleum-plastics like Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a budding challenge due to increasing white pollution. The present investigation has focused the aspect through microbial assisted biodegradation. Various indigenous microorganisms were isolated from collected municipal landfill soil. Growth medium enriched with 0.2 g of LDPE powder was used to screen the soil bacteria wi...

The paper investigates the shape recovery behavior of a simple beam and a tape spring made of LDPE under prescribed deformation history at room temperature. The linear viscoelastic material properties of LDPE were measured via creep tests. An analysis of a LDPE beam under four-point bending with an imposed history of vertical deflection and reaction force was performed. A theoretical solution w...
