Using bis-oxalamides to reduce the haze of linear low-density polyethylene
The haze of a commercially available resin can be reduced by up to 50 by incorporating novel clarification agents.
Analyzing the radiopacity of dental composite restoratives
The radiopacity of modern dental restorative materials depends critically on the filler compositions.
Accelerating the degradation of polyethylene composite mulches
Films containing poly(methyl methacrylate)-modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles exhibit enhanced photocatalytic oxidation and biodegradation.
Improving the mechanical properties of fatty acid starch esters
The novel use of sago starch and vinyl laurate in densified carbon dioxide increases the reactivity of esterification and produces final products that have higher degrees of substitution.
Improving flame retardancy of epoxy resins
New nitrogen-rich bentonite organoclays are used to improve the behavior of traditionally flammable materials, such as epoxy resins in carbon fiber-reinforced polymers.
Toughening polyoxymethylene by polyolefin elastomer and compatibilizer
Glycidyl methacrylate-grafted high-density polyethylene improved the compatibility of polyoxymethylene and polyolefin elastomer, in turn enhancing the properties of polyoxymethylene.
Compatibilizer–photostabilizer interactions in coir fiber/polypropylene composites
The use of photostabilizing additives may compromise the mechanical properties of coir fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites compatibilized with maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene.
Development of stable polymeric structures for harsh oil-reservoir conditions
Understanding the structure-function relationship in polymeric materials enables the development of stable products to optimize hydrocarbon recovery under harsh conditions.
Investigating the tribology of poly-ether-ether-ketone at high temperatures
The change in crystallinity of polymer samples at high temperature was used to analyze fretting wear behavior.
Dramatically increasing the thermal conductivity of silicone rubber composites
