Air-filtering masks, also known as respirators, protect wearers from inhaling fine particulate
matter (PM 2.5) in polluted air, as well as airborne pathogens during a pandemic, such as …

The review is devoted to the fundamental aspects of the reactive processing of thermoplastic
polymers. First of all, some reactive processing examples, including polymer grafting (vinyl …

The feasibility of fabricating polypropylene (PP) nanofibers has been explored by using
different additives, such as sodium oleate (SO), poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) and poly …

The controlled-rheology peroxide degradation of polypropylene is a major issue for the
industry. Combining DFT calculations–about H-abstraction onto model 2, 4, 6 …

The degradation of high molecular weight isotactic polypropylene (iPP) subjected to gamma
rays irradiation up to 100kGy in inert atmosphere was analyzed. The investigation relied …

Since rheology is very sensitive to the structure and macromolecular conformation of
polymer systems, rheological measurements performed in situ during extrusion are attractive …

This work seeks to optimize the twin‐screw compounding of polymer‐clay nanocomposites
(PCNs). Proportional amounts (3: 1) of maleic anhydride functionalized polypropylene …

In this paper, a novel technique for the fabrication of nanofibres of polypropylene by
meltblowing process with the injection of different fluids (such as nitrogen and water) has …

In nonwoven industry, meltblowing has been widely used as an important technique for the
production of nonwoven webs consisting of microfibres, suitable for various applications …

Clay-philic benzothiazole sulfide, capable of donating electrons, is grafted onto
polypropylene (PP) backbones when N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfonamide (CBS), a …
