<p class="JARTEAbstract">In this study was analyzed the effect of three different compatibilizers polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), unmodified halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), and HNTs treated by silanization with (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GLYMO) (silanized HNTs) in blends bio-based high-density polyethylene (bioPE) poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) a weight ratio (70/...

The evaluation of poly(limonene carbonate)s (PLCs), derived from orange oils and carbon dioxide, as UV-curable (powder) coating binders is described. PLCs with moderate molecular weight were prepared by copolymerization limonene oxide CO2 a subsequent reduction step transcarbonation 1,10-decanediol (1,10-DCD). These cured trifunctional thiol monomer in the presence photoinitiator via thiol-ene ...

Sharks are apex-predators that play an important role in past and present aquatic food webs. However, their diet - especially extinct species is often not well constrained. Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has been successfully applied to reconstruct feeding behaviours of different terrestrial vertebrates. unlike mammals, food-to-tooth contact sharks rather limited because only larger p...

Different compositions of wheat thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) are melt blended by extrusion and injected. Different properties are determined: mechanical properties (tensile and impact tests), thermal and thermomechanical properties (DSC and DMTA) and hydrophobicity (contact angle measurement). A large range of blends is analysed with different glycerol (plasticizer):sta...
