New Strategy for Upcycling Marine Plastic Waste Through the Development of a Diamine-Functionalized Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Compatibilizer

Recycling
A compatibilizer for low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blends was developed. This compatibilizer consists of amine-functionalized PET, which is blended with maleated polyethylene to form a copolymer.

Demotivating Semi-Compatibilism

Ideas y Valores, 2009
In this paper, I explore some of the motivations behind John Martin Fischer's semi-compatibilism. Particularly, I look at three reasons Fischer gives for preferring semi-compatibilism to libertarianism. I argue that the first two of these motivations are in tension with each other: the more one is moved by the first motivation, the less one can appeal ...

Hemp Hurd/HDPE Thermoplastic Biocomposites: Effects of Oxidized Polyethylene and EPDM Elastomer on Material Performance

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 4, October 2026.
Processing of hemp hurd/HDPE‐ based biocomposites. ABSTRACT The biocomposites examined in this study utilize hemp hurd as the lignocellulosic biomass and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) as the thermoplastic matrix, with a 50 wt.% hurd content. Oxidized polyethylene (OPE) and ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) rubber were incorporated at varying ...

Performance and UV‐Induced Microplastics Formation in a PBS/PBAT Blend With and Without Joncryl Reactive Compatibilization

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
To the best of our knowledge, only a few studies have investigated the generation of micro‐ and nanoplastics from biodegradable polymers and polymer blends, likely due to their biodegradable nature and lower environmental persistence.

Impact of Chitosan Incorporation on PBAT Composite: Thermal, Viscoelastic, Mechanical, and Morphological Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
The abstract explains the impact of various concentrations of chitosan on PBAT composite. Indeed, the composite is produced at increasing concentrations of chitosan (10%, 20%, and 30%). The decrease in the tensile strength with increased conc. of chitosan was recorded. Furthermore, the same impact was recorded for TGA analysis.

Microwave‐Assisted Alcoholysis of Ethylene–Vinyl Acetate: Phenomenological and Thermal Evolution of EVAOH Terpolymers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
Microwave‐assisted alcoholysis converts EVA into EVAOH terpolymers, promoting a progressive transition from EVA‐like crystallites to VOH‐rich hydrogen‐bonded crystalline domains. Solvent‐controlled swelling influences conversion kinetics, while thermal analysis reveals a sigmoidal increase in melting temperature that a two‐population crystallization ...
