Influence of Microplastics on the Growth and the Intestinal Microbiota Composition of Brine Shrimp
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and can be frequently ingested by zooplankton, leading to various effects. Brine shrimp (Artemia parthenogenetica) has an important role in the energy flow through trophic levels in different ...

Evaluation of photodegradation in LDPE/modified starch blends
Polímeros, 2009 Photodegradation of LDPE/modified starch blends 80/20 m/m has been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X ray diffraction (DRX) before and after exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV). Samples

A Theoretical Study on Crystallization of Polyethylene Using Modified Weighted Density Approximation (MWDA) [PDF]
, 2015 In this article, the crystallization of Polyethylene is investigated by the modified weighted density approximation. Also a direct correlation function of Polyethylene based on the RISM theory is used. The free energy of a Polyethylene is calculated using density functional theory.

Under-liquid Self-Assembly of Submerged Buoyant Polymer Particles [PDF]
LANGMUIR Volume: 32 Issue: 23 Pages: 5714-5720 Published: JUN 14
2016, 2017 The self-assembly of submerged cold-plasma-treated polyethylene beads is reported. The plasma-treated immersed millimetrically-sized polyethylene beads formed well-ordered 2D quasi-crystalline structures. The submerged floating of light polyethylene beads is possible due to the energy gain achieved by the wetting of the high-energy plasma-treated ...

Biodiesel permeability in polyethylene [PDF]
Polymer Testing, 2012 This paper reports solubility and diffusivity data for soy and rapeseed methyl esters in polyethylene together with comparisons with methyl oleate and linoleate. These data showed that there is no significant difference in diffusivity and solubility between all these penetrants.

Transcrystallization at the interface of polyethylene single-polymer composites [PDF]
Materials Research, 1999 The phenomenon of transcrystallization was studied at the interface of UHMWPE fibers embedded in an HDPE matrix. It was hoped that epitaxial crystallization in such model composites could eventually be used to improve adhesion between these high-strength

Enhancing thermal conductivity of bulk polyethylene along two directions by paved crosswise laminate [PDF]
CHIN. PHYS. LETT. Vol. 38, No. 1 (2021) 014401, 2016 Recently, some reports show that the ultra-low thermal conductivity of bulk polymers can be enhanced along one direction, which limits its applications. Here, we proposed paved crosswise laminate methods which can enhance the thermal conductivity of bulk polyethylene (PE) along two directions.
