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.

Cellulosic materials as natural fillers in starch-containing matrix-based films: a review [PDF]
In this work, the different cellulosic materials, namely cellulose and lignin are analyzed. In addition, the starch-containing matrices (isolated starch and flour) reinforced with cellulosic materials to be used in packaging applications are described ...

Influence of microcrystalline cellulose in thermoplastic starch/polyester blown films
This work investigated the influence of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in thermoplastic starch/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) films produced by blown extrusion, using different MCC contents (4, 7 and 10 g.100 g-1).

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 ...

An experimental study on process-oriented scale-up/scale-down in blown film extrusion [PDF]
The transfer of experimental test results from a small-scale system to a large-scale production system is known as scale-up or, conversely, scale-down. For film-producing companies, scale-up is a common procedure in the development process of new composite films or material recipes, where the main objective is to obtain equal film properties in the ...
