Influence of the nature of pro-oxidants on the photooxidation of polyethylene blown films

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
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.

A new scale-up/scale-down method for the blown film extrusion [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
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.
