Review on modification strategies of polyethylene/polypropylene immiscible thermoplastic polymer blends for enhancing their mechanical behavior

Antimo Graziano, Shaffiq A. Jaffer, Mohini Sain · 26 Jun 2018

Blends of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) have always been the subject of intense reasearch for encouraging polymer waste recycling while producing new materials for specific applications in a sustainable way. However, being thermodynamically immiscible, these polyolefins form a binary system usually exhibiting lower performances compared with those of the homopolymers. Many studies have been…

A critical review on the utilization of various reinforcement modifiers in filled rubber composites

Kumarjyoti Roy, Subhas Chandra Debnath, Pranut Potiyaraj · 12 Mar 2019

Presently, the development of high-performance filled rubber composites offers a new era in the industrial field of polymer research. This article reviews the utilization of various reinforcement modifiers on the successive property enhancement of rubber composites containing different commonly used fillers like silica, nanoclay, carbon nanotube, natural fibers, and so on. The practical importance of…

Polymer Concrete from Marble Wastes and Recycled Poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Magda E. Tawfik, Samir B. Eskander · 14 Dec 2005

A polymer concrete (PC) was synthesized by mixing styrenated polyester (SP) and marble wastes as fillers. The unsaturated polyester (UP) used was prepared from the reaction of oligomers obtained from the depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) soft drink bottles with maleic anhydride and adipic acid. The UP was then mixed with the styrene monomers at…

Characterization and thermal kinetic analysis of pineapple leaf fibers and their reinforcement in epoxy

Jyoti Jain, Shorab Jain, Shishir Sinha · 4 Jul 2018

The progress in the development of composites with natural fibers for various applications in different sectors witnesses remarkable success worldwide in the last decade. Among the various natural fibers existing worldwide, pineapple leaf fibers (PALFs) possess remarkable mechanical properties because of the maximum content of cellulose (∼80%) among all natural fibers. In spite of having…

Extruded Starch/PVA Composites: Water Resistance, Thermal Properties, and Morphology

Guoxiang Zou, Ping-Qu Jin, Liang-Zou Xin · 1 Oct 2008

Poor processability and strong hydrophilicity are the main disadvantages of starch/PVA (SP) composites. Thermoplastic SP composites are prepared by a single-screw extruder in this study. The influence of the formulation on the hydrophilicity of SP composites is studied by an orthogonal array and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of ANOVA show that the…
