Interactions, structure and properties in poly(lactic acid)/thermoplastic polymer blends [PDF]
, 2014 Blends were prepared from poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and three thermoplastics, polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Rheological and mechanical properties, structure and component interactions were determined by various ...

Biodegradability Study by FTIR and DSC of Polymers Films Based on Polypropylene and Cassava Starch
Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry, 2019 The polypropylene resistance to biological attacks is related to the lack of functional groups recognizable by microbial enzymatic systems. The incorporation of compatibilizing agents in polypropylene (PP)/starch (S) blends favors the interactions of ...

The Impact of Sewage Sludge-Sweet Sorghum Blends on the Biogas Production for Energy Purposes
Energies, 2023 The paper presents research on the impact of adding various forms of sorghum to sewage sludge on the anaerobic digestion process. The use of liquid sewage sludge alone in biogas plants at wastewater treatment plants is inefficient due to the low total ...

Brünner Beiträge zur Germanistik und Nordistik, 2020 The aim of this paper is to show that blends or portmanteau words form an intermediate category between monomorphemic and polymorphemic words. First, it will be shown that one must distinguish between two types of concatenations of portions of two words.
