Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...

Solvent‐Free Fabrication of Eco‐Friendly pH‐Sensitive Smart Films From Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Red Cabbage Anthocyanin for Tracking of Chicken Breast Spoilage

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Smart label design. ABSTRACT The growing interest to ensure food safety requires the development of smart indicator systems that are capable of real‐time tracking of spoilage, particularly for perishable foods. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to fabricate eco‐friendly, industrially viable pH‐sensitive smart films via solvent‐free melt ...
