Computer simulation of the load test of an extrusion blow moulded product
The results of compression "top load" test of an extrusion blow moulded container, performed in ANSYS Mechanical software, were presented. The non-uniform wall thickness of the blown product was considered because the thickness distribution was the ...

Influence of the nature of pro-oxidants on the photooxidation of polyethylene blown films
In an attempt to reduce the accumulation of polymeric waste in the environment, such as plastic bags, the use of pro-oxidants has been adopted in polyolefins, including polyethylene (PE), which is one of the most used polymers in film production.

Physico-mechanical and structural characterization of polyethylene films and thermoplastic pinto bean starch [PDF]
Starch is a biopolymer that is abundant in nature, low-cost, biodegradable, and can be transformed into a thermoplastic material. This work evaluates the films’ physicochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE ...

Films of post-consumer polypropylene composites for the support layer in synthetic paper
Composite films were studied as possible candidates for the central or support layer of synthetic paper in a multilayer structure. Recycled post-consumer polypropylene films were reinforced with inorganic fillers at various compositions and under several
