A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of natural fillers on mechanical properties virgin and waste low density polyethylene. Samples disposable sachet bags were obtained blended with varying percentages polylactic acid, starch, charcoal maleic anhydride (M.A) in a 2 roll-mill mixer compression molded form composites using two-roll mix molding machine for compounding. cut according ASTM...

Pteris vittata is a hyperaccumulator fern able to uptake arsenic by roots accumulating it in the fronds. Recent studies showed that can be used efficiently for arsenic-contaminated water treatment, paving way long-lasting decontamination strategies established on nature-based solutions. This raises issue of biomass disposal, which rather than being incinerated could represent valuable untapped ...

Oxidation of 3- and 4-pentafluorosulfanyl-substituted anisoles and phenols with hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid provided a mixture of SF5-substituted muconolactone, maleic, and succinic acids. A plausible mechanism for the formation of the aliphatic SF5 compounds was presented and their chemical reactivity was investigated. SF5-substituted para-benzoquinone was synthesized; its oxidation le...

The effect of compatibilizer - ethylene-n-octene copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride(EOC-g-MAH) used in the amount 3 wt% on tensile and flexural properties impact strengthof bioPET addition 10 filler derived from organic waste (egg mollusc shells, coffeegrounds) was investigated. EOC-g-MAH slightly decreased strength, andmodulus elasticity, while significantly increasing strength (up to 426...

in this work, ternary polymer blends based on polypropylene (pp)/ polyethylene terephthalate (pet) /poly(styrene-b (ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (sebs) triblock copolymer and a reactive maleic anhydride grafted sebs (sebs-g-mah) at various compositions were prepared by co-rotating twin screw extruder. the effects of pet, sebs and sebs-g-mah compatibilizer on morphology of the blends were ex...
