Petro-derived commodity thermoplastics are relatively inexpensive, lightweight, and non-
biodegradable materials, which can be readily molded at high temperatures into a range of …

The recent interest in multifunctional materials with tailorable performances led to the
formulation of novel polymer blends, with enhanced properties with respect to traditional …

In today's nanoworld, there is a strong need to manipulate and process materials on an atom-
by-atom scale with new tools such as reactive plasma, which in some states enables high …

Although the concept blending two or more polymers is not novel, the significance of this has
paved way for the invention of new high-performance materials which could make …

In this study, phosphate sludge (PS) by-product was newly identified as a particulate
reinforcement for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites. Furthermore, to offer a …

In this work, we report the effect of an organoclay on the photochemical weathering of
nanocomposites based on a poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT)/poly (lactic …

The literature relatively lacks results and data related to the direct influence of physical aging
on the properties of polypropylene and natural rubber blend; so, the objective of this …
