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.

Polyethylene and Hydrolyzed Collagen Blend Films Produced by Blown Extrusion [PDF]
The use of plastics packaging is widespread. For this reason, there is a growing interest in develop of novel materials by blends of synthetic and natural polymers which can help to reduce the environmental impact of plastics. Hydrolyzed collagen (HC) from leather industry is an inexpensive natural biopolymer and it is a promising material for blending

A new scale-up/scale-down method for the blown film extrusion [PDF]
The development of innovative film products is a two-step process: New composite films or material recipes are first experimentally tested on a laboratory-scale blown film line, and then the results regarding process conditions and final film properties are transferred to a large-scale production plant.
