Adsorption of Levofloxacin on Microplastics in Aqueous Solution [PDF]
Objectives Recently, microplastics (MPs) is observed at surface water in worldwide because of massive use of plastics. Since MPs have a large specific surface area, they could provide adsorption sites to water contaminants such as Levofloxacin (LVF). LVF

Foam Polyethylene Made of Recycled Polyethylene
Abstract The paper deals with the main principles of foam polyethylene production by the addition of recycled polyethylene and a modifier in the initial mixture. Obtaining of the modified foam polyethylene will accomplish two important tasks: solve the environmental problem of recycling polyethylene waste and reduce the cost of the ...

Velcrand Functionalized Polyethylene [PDF]
Velcrands are a specific class of cavitands whose complementary surfaces induce self-dimerization. The insertion of a velcrand as physical cross-linking unit into a polymer is reported. To this purpose, the velcrand was functionalized at the lower rim with an isocyanate group.
