An enormous selection of polymer processing aids ranging from conventional waxes to sophisticated functionalized polymers is available that can be added to a resin formulation to ease its processing. BYK-P 4102 introduced recently by BYK Chemie GmbH...

Petroleum drying up will lead to a sharp crisis needing to find new sources for the plastics industry. Moreover environmental requirements and the green trends lead to a broad use of renewable raw materials. In this context there are two main...

Interfaces are among the most important yet least understood components of a composite material. In particular, there is a lack of understanding of processes occurring at the atomic level of interfaces, and how those processes influence the global...

This paper investigates the effects of two kinds of macromolecular compatibilizers on the properties of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/magnesium hydroxide (MH) composites. On the basis of the experimental results from the mechanical test,...

Ultrasound irradiation was applied for coating cotton bandages with MgO and Al2O3 commercially obtained nanoparticles. The homogeneous distribution of the nanoparticles without any aggregation on the fabrics was demonstrated. The antibacterial...

This patent claims a non-halogen containing flame-retardant polymer blend composition having an excellent balance of heat-resistance, mechanical strength, and melt flow properties. The flame-retardant resin composition is a blend of (A) PLA and/or a...
