The assessment of the extent of degradation of polymer molecules during processing via
conventional (eg, extrusion and injection molding) and emerging (eg, additive …

Polypropylene (PP) has a high recycling potential. However, the properties of mechanically
recycled PP (R-PP) have not been fully compared to those of virgin PP (V-PP). Therefore, in …

Plastic pollution compromises the environment and human well-being, and a global
transition to a circular economy of plastics is vital to address this challenge. Pyrolysis is a …

Abstract In this study, Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) were produced from post-consumer
bulky wastes of recycled plastic and wood in order to minimize waste, decrease …

Due to a lack of long-term experience with burgeoning material extrusion-based additive
manufacturing technology, also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF), considerable …

Despite the growing interest of the automotive industry in using recycled polymers, their
undesired odor is limiting their application in vehicles' interior components. To get deeper …

Multiple extrusion, simulating thermo-mechanical processing conditions on the laboratory
scale, has commonly been accepted as a tool for assessing the processing stability of …

The current high production of plastics has prompted the exploration of alternative pathways
to facilitate recycling, aiming for a progressively sustainable society. This paper presents an …

An often used oxygen scavenger is a blend of iron powder and additives dispersed in a
polymer carrier matrix. It is applied as an additive for separate layers of multilayer film …

The performances of the porous and nonporous α-alumina (α-Al 2 O 3) for the
decomposition of ethylene in a dielectric-packed bed plasma reactor were comparatively …
