Presently, environmental problems and regulations have caused awareness to producer
liability concerning plastics recycling as they try to meet global demand. Process-induced …

Preparation, properties and applications of single-polymer composites (SPCs), representing
an emerging family within the polymeric composite materials, have been surveyed. SPCs …

The world population will rapidly grow from 7 to 9 billion by 2050 and this will parallel a
surging annual plastics consumption from today's 350 million tons to well beyond 1 billion …

The development of vehicle bodies based on lightweight structural composites is urgently
required to upgrade electric cars and to commercialize urban air mobility. Self-reinforced …

This work presents the concept of using the self-reinforced inserts, suitable for overmolding
during the standard injection molding procedure. The reinforcing inserts made from self …

This review is an attempt to describe distinctive ability of condensation polymer to form
nanocomposites. Zero-dimensional nanocarbon nanomaterials including fullerene, carbon …

Impact resistant all-poly (lactic acid) composites were prepared by film-stacking of highly
crystalline poly (lactic acid)(PLA) fibres with fully amorphous PLA films. The flammability of …

This paper discusses two possible strategies used in plastics waste disposal: one is
materials recycling the other is controlled breakdown including biological thermal or …

In this work, the effectiveness of a rapid recycling method of waste polypropylene (WPP) with
the addition of inorganic fillers was investigated. The experiments were performed using …

Creep deformation of polymers results from their inherent viscoelastic nature that changes
polymer's shape with time. Creep response represents an important property of …
