Mechanical Properties of Concrete and Mortar Containing Low Density Polyethylene Waste Particles as Fine Aggregate [PDF]
Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2020 Iraq industrial activities related to huge amounts of solid, non-biodegradable waste, waste low density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic being among the well-known. So in this study, the scarped LDPE food boxes were transformed into fine particles and used as

Bioremediation of MP-polluted Waters Using Bacteria Bacillus licheniformis, Lysinibacillus massiliensis, and Mixed Culture of Bacillus sp. and Delftia acidovorans [PDF]
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly, 2021 Microplastic particles (MPs) are widely distributed pollutants in the environment. While a growing number of studies have shown that MPs are toxic to plant and animal life, systemic efforts to reduce their presence have been scarce.

Microstructural contributions of different polyolefins to the deformation mechanisms of their binary blends [PDF]
, 2020 The mixing of polymers, even structurally similar polyolefins, inevitably leads to blend systems with a phase-separated morphology. Fundamentally understanding the changes in mechanical properties and occurring deformation mechanisms of these immiscible ...

NON-BIODEGRADATION OF POLYMERIZED POLYETHYLENE RADICALS AT SELECTED DUMPSITES IN KEFFI, NASARAWA STATE NIGERIA [PDF]
Journal CleanWAS, 2023 Polythene and plastic bags pollutes the soil because these are non-biodegradable, and so, they cannot be degraded by the action of the microbes. Therefore, they remain in the soil and will pollute the soil.

Utilization of liquid product through pyrolysis of LDPE and C/LDPE as commercial wax [PDF]
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021 Abstract Background In this study, pyrolysis of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and LDPE with aluminum (C/LDPE) wastes was carried out with different heating rates (5-10-20°C/min) at different temperatures (400-600-800°C). The effect of temperature and heating rate on liquid product yield was investigated.
