Plastics have numerous properties that render them superior to other materials in many
applications. Since the past 50 years, the use of plastics has dramatically increased in our …

Adding small amounts of nanoparticles is an effective way to manipulate the morphology of
immiscible polymer blends. However, although diffusely recognized, the potential of such an …

Petro-derived commodity thermoplastics are relatively inexpensive, lightweight, and non-
biodegradable materials, which can be readily molded at high temperatures into a range of …

Currently, the growing consumption of polymer products creates the large quantities of
waste materials resulting in public concern in the environment and people life …

In this study, a minimum reflection loss of− 70 dB was achieved for a 6 mm thick shield (at
17.1 GHz frequency) employing a unique approach. This was accomplished by engineering …

The combination of polymers can produce a multicomponent polymeric system, with
advanced performance that cannot be achieved by the individual components. An ideal …

An approach originated from preparing long chain branched polypropylene (PP) was
applied to modify the properties of recycled PP that involved reactive extrusion to introduce a …

The recycled polypropylene/recycled high‐impact polystyrene (R‐PP/R‐HIPS) blends were
melt extruded by twin‐screw extruder and produced by injection molding machine. The …

Mixed plastic waste recycling represents a significant challenge as the phase separation of
different components dictates downgraded performance. Polymer‐based compatibilizers …

Bulk electric waste plastics were recycled and reduced in size into plastic chips before
pulverization or cryogenic grinding into powders. Two major types of electronic waste …
