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 ...

Biodegradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheet by microalga, Uronema africanum Borge

Scientific Reports, 2021
Plastic (polyethylene) pollution is a severe cause of deterioration of a healthy environment. For example, ingestion of plastics in the animal gut, clogging of water canals and retarded solid waste management.

Biodegradation of Unpretreated Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) by Stenotrophomonas sp. and Achromobacter sp., Isolated From Waste Dumpsite and Drilling Fluid

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Exploring the catabolic repertoire of natural bacteria for biodegradation of plastics is one of the priority areas of biotechnology research. Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is recalcitrant and poses serious threats to our environment.

Effect of filler type on crystallinity of low-density polyethylene composites [PDF]

Journal of Chemistry Letters, 2020
In this study, crystallinity was investigated for Low-Density Polyethylene composites of bagasse and sweet potato peel (SPP) compounded with an internal mixer as compared to the pure low-density polyethylene that acted as the control sample.

Detection of surface-adsorbed (lipo)proteins by means of a two-step enzyme-immunoassay: a study on the Vroman effect [PDF]

, 1990
In view of reports on the involvement of high-molecular-weight (HMW) kininogen and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the Vroman effect, we studied the adsorption of fibrinogen, HMW kininogen, HDL and several other proteins from pooled human plasma and ...

Role of the intestinal microbiome in low-density polyethylene degradation by caterpillar larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2020
Recently, a few insects, including the caterpillar larva of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella, have been identified as avid ‘plastivores’. These caterpillars are able to ingest and metabolize polyethylene at unprecedented rates.

Alumina and low density polyethylene composite for ballistics applications

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021
The efficiency of alumina and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites in ballistic applications was investigated. Different concentrations of alumina were studied, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 wt.%. The ballistic tests were carried out at subsonic speed using a

Microbial Consortiums of Putative Degraders of Low-Density Polyethylene-Associated Compounds in the Ocean

bioRxiv, 2021
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is one of the most used plastics worldwide, and a large portion of it ends up in the ocean. Very little is known about its fate in the ocean and whether it can be biodegraded by microorganisms.

Pyrolysis of Low Density Polyethylene: Kinetic Study Using TGA Data and ANN Prediction

Polymers, 2020
Pyrolysis of waste low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is considered to be a highly efficient, promising treatment method. This work aims to investigate the kinetics of LDPE pyrolysis using three model-free methods (Friedman, Flynn-Wall-Qzawa (FWO), and ...
